This week, we are flashing back to a beautiful day outdoors with FFA at High Falls State Park!
After working hard at their convention, students enjoyed a well-earned day of outdoor exploration. They hiked winding trails, took in the scenic lake views, and spent time bonding as a team. It was a wonderful reminder of the environmental values at the heart of the agricultural mission.

This Friday, we are looking back at an incredibly impactful week of leadership and service at the Georgia FFA State Convention in Macon.
Our FFA delegation made a meaningful difference by participating in a massive community service project with the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Alongside peers from across the state, our students rolled up their sleeves to help construct over 1,000 beds for children who lack a place to sleep. Talk about making your summer count!

📚 What is on your summer reading or movie watchlist right now? 🍿
If you need some entertainment inspiration, today's #FlashbackFriday looks back at the final meeting of The Den Book Club!
To wrap up a great year, members tackled a popular science fiction novel (Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir) and rated it. Then, they took a fun road trip to Statesboro to watch the big-screen movie adaptation! The group loved comparing the two versions and agreed that the film did a wonderful job of staying true to the book.
Are you team "read the book first" or team "watch the movie first"?🎬📖

Please join us in giving a huge round of applause to our outstanding middle and high school band students who were selected to participate in the prestigious Vidalia Sweet Onion Honor Band! 🎺🥁
On Friday, May 1st, and Saturday, May 2nd, these talented musicians traveled to represent our schools and collaborate with some of the finest young performers from across the region.
What it took to pull off this amazing performance:
🗓️ Two Days of Rehearsals: Students jumped straight into intense, fast-paced rehearsal sessions.
🧠 Expert Mentorship: They spent two full days working closely under the direction of elite guest clinicians, mastering brand-new music in a very short amount of time.
🎼 The Grand Finale: All of their hard work culminated in a spectacular, high-energy public concert on Saturday night!
It takes an incredible amount of focus, adaptability, and pure musical talent to sit down with a new group of musicians and put on a show-stopping performance in less than 48 hours. We are so proud of our Tigers for their dedication to their craft and for representing our community so beautifully! 💛🖤
We know it's a little late posting this, but we wanted to make sure our awesome band students got recognized for their hard work!🎵👏

Talk about a massive accomplishment for our music program! The University of Georgia recently selected just 50 students from across the entire state for the prestigious Gretsch Musician Leadership Academy—and an incredible 9 of those slots belonged right here to CHS students!
Please join us in giving a huge round of applause to these exceptional student leaders:
🎵 Aaliyah Beasley
🎵 Colton Emanuel
🎵 Mario Garcia
🎵 Jason Newman
🎵 Mitchell Newman
🎵 Karen Patricio-Ramos
🎵 Ramon Soto Dentil

Thanks to this highly competitive selection, our talented Tigers earned nearly $6,000 in total scholarships to attend the university’s 2026 summer band camp completely free of charge.
From Sunday, June 7 through Thursday, June 11, these nine students got a true taste of college life, living on campus in Athens. Over their intense, five-day musical adventure, they participated in leadership development classes, instrument-specific masterclasses alongside top musicians from all over Georgia, and received an exclusive one-on-one private lesson with a UGA music professor!
To have nearly 20% of a statewide academy come from our school is a testament to the talent, drive, and dedication thriving in our music department. We are so incredibly proud of these students for earning this elite recognition and representing our community so beautifully. Thank you to Mr. Alfredo Maruri for teaching and encourging our band students. 🐯🖤💛

Our Claxton High School Beta Club students traveled to the National Beta Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, and they are walking away with some absolutely massive national accomplishments!
Competing against the best of the best from across the country, these three Tigers showed everyone what Evans County talent looks like:
🥇 Allisson Martinez – NATIONAL CHAMPION!
Allisson completely dominated the Fiber Arts Division 1 category, walking away with the 1st place title. We have a National Champion in the building!
🥉 Hannah Hendrix – 3rd Place in the Nation!
Hannah proved her academic elite status by placing 3rd in the 12th Grade Health & Physical Education Academic Test. This was no easy feat—Hannah had to crush a preliminary test just to qualify, and then test again live in Nashville to secure her podium spot.
🥉 Joselin Baltazar-Venegas – 3rd Place & A Historic Streak!
Joselin earned an impressive 3rd place in Hand Drawn Anime Division 2. Incredibly, this win cements a flawless legacy: Joselin has placed in the Top 5 at Nationals all four years of her high school career!
To go to Nationals is an honor, but to walk away with podium finishes and a national title is unforgettable. We are so incredibly proud of your hard work, talent, and dedication.
Help us congratulate Allisson, Hannah, and Joselin! 🎉🖤💛

Today we are throwing it back to a great hands-on project from our General Horticulture classes that has us feeling inspired to test our green thumbs this June! 🔨
Before break started, students moved beyond the textbook to design and build their own mini greenhouses. They had to apply structural concepts to real-world models, focusing on critical factors like light transmission, ventilation, and structural integrity.
If you're gardening this summer, we hope you're seeing lots of success and enjoying all those summer favorites!🌱
