👩🍳 Celebrating the Heart of the Cafeteria 🥗
At Evans County Schools, we know that success in the classroom starts with a good meal. Today, we honored the dedicated professionals who make that possible: our School Lunch Heroes.
Staff and students from both Claxton Middle and Claxton High spent time today expressing their thanks to our cafeteria team. These ladies are the backbone of our daily routine, and we were thrilled to surprise them with hanging baskets, cards, and some posters to brighten their day.
Thank you for your dedication, your hard work, and for keeping our Tiger family well-nourished. You are truly appreciated! 🐯💐

👔 The Standard of Excellence: Dr. Paul Mizell
The shirt and tie may change from year to year, but our appreciation for Dr. Mizell certainly doesn't. As we celebrate School Principal Appreciation Day, the students, faculty, and staff of CHS want to send a huge "Thank You" to our leader. Whether he is navigating the school day or supporting our Tigers at after school events, Dr. Mizell’s steady leadership and dedication to excellence keep our school moving forward.
🚀 From the Classroom to CEO: Holly Durrence
A great leader knows the way because they’ve walked the way. We are also incredibly proud to highlight the CEO of our College and Career Academy, Holly Durrence. Holly’s impact on Evans County Schools has been profound, serving as a Classroom Teacher, an Instructional Coach, and now as the CEO of The DEN. Because she has seen education from a variety of angles, she brings a unique perspective and deep understanding of what our students and staff need to thrive in the real world.
Together, Dr. Mizell and Mrs. Durrence form a dynamic team dedicated to preparing our students for whatever comes next. On behalf of the entire Tiger family, thank you both for your vision, your mentorship, and your tireless work to Restore The Roar! 🐯🖤💛

🎺 From Claxton to the Big Stage: CHS Students, Staff, and other Claxton Residents Join GSU Community Band! 🎶
Music doesn’t end at graduation, and our Tigers proved that this past Tuesday night! On April 28th, current and former Claxton High School students, parents, and teachers took the stage at Georgia Southern University to perform with the GSU Community Band.
This unique ensemble brings together high schoolers, college students, parents, and band directors from across the region, creating a rich environment for mentorship and musical growth.
Reflections from the Stage:
"I enjoy having the opportunity to perform alongside GSU’s Community Band. It allows me to continue learning from the professors at Georgia Southern while also continuing to make music. It also gives students the chance to see me as a performer and me the opportunity to play alongside them." — Alfredo Maruri, CHS Band Director
"Performing with the GSU community band is always an uplifting and beautiful experience. Last night's performance was definitely something to be proud of. It is such a great experience to be able to play with people of all ages and abilities." — Rachel Wilkie, Class of 2026
Congratulations to all our performers for representing Claxton with such talent and passion. 🐯🖤💛

☀️💛 April Sunshine Basket Recipients 💛☀️
PPB students from Georgia Southern University, Lindsey Jordan and Haylee Craft, were the well‑deserved recipients of our April Sunshine Basket, and we couldn’t be more thankful for them! 🌻🎁
Over the past several months, Mrs. Kelly’s students have loved spending time with these amazing future educators as they worked together on phonics, writing, and reading stories 📖✏️. Their visits quickly became something the students looked forward to every Monday and Wednesday during lunchtime, and they will truly be missed! 💕
As their time with the class came to an end, the students wanted to give back and say thank you for all the encouragement, support, and learning they shared. We wish Lindsey and Haylee the very best as they continue their journey toward becoming educators—what a bright future ahead! 🍎✨
Thank you for making such a positive impact at CES! 🐯💙
