Mr. Turner's Basic Ag class is getting resourceful! 🌽 Students are learning all about alternative food choices for animals. They pulled sweet corn that wouldn't mature due to the recent cold snap and are repurposing it to feed the goats. What a fantastic lesson in minimizing waste and sustainable farming! 🐷🐔

We were so thankful to have Mrs. Ashleigh Geurin from the Evans County UGA Extension Office join us on our teacher workday to educate Claxton Elementary staff about breast cancer awareness. She even brought along some fun photo booth props and giveaways to make the session extra special! 🎀

Just over a year ago, Carson Blocker walked the halls of Claxton High School as a Claxton Tiger. Today, he returned — not as a student, but as a Work-Based Learning Advisory Board Member. During today's meeting, Blocker emphasized the need for students to explore various careers so they can find something they care about doing. He added that finding this passion makes showing up everyday and taking initiative at the workplace easy.
Blocker graduated from Ogeechee Technical College and Claxton High School in 2024. He holds a diploma in HVAC and a CDL certificate. Just last night, he was named Evans County Farmer of the Year and added to the local Farm Bureau Board of Directors.
CHS and The DEN are proud of Blocker and appreciative of his willingness to help others find their success in life!
