On Friday, October 2, 2026, our Claxton High School 9th graders took a monumental step in their high school journey during the annual 9th Grade Commitment Ceremony! Surrounded by families, faculty, and supporters, the Class of 2030 officially pledged to put in the work required to cross the stage and graduate on time in May 2030! 📜🎓

The morning opened with a warm welcome from CHS Principal James Rowe, followed by CHS Counselor Pamela Calloway introducing guest speaker and CHS alumnus Robbie Lane (Class of 2022)! 🎙️🌟

Robbie delivered an inspiring message, sharing 5 key points for achieving success in school and in life:
1️⃣ Set goals and chase goals 🎯
2️⃣ Be a great friend and make great friends 🤝
3️⃣ Build a strong work ethic 💪
4️⃣ Never let anyone tell you that you can't 🚫🛑
5️⃣ Find your purpose ✨

To seal their commitment, students signed a graduation gown, enjoyed refreshments with their families, and took a full class photo to mark this special milestone! 📸🥳

We are so proud of our Class of 2030 and can’t wait to support them every step of the way as they strive with one shared purpose under One Roar! ⚡
