Congratulations to CMS Teacher of the Year, Stephanie Myers!

CES proudly honored our retiring educators — Julie Howard, Jeanne Croft, and Versie Foxworth — with rocking chairs, sweet treats, and a special time of fellowship together. ❤️

Thank you, ladies, for your many years of dedication, love, and service to our students and school. You have made a lasting impact, and you will be truly missed! 🍎✨

🏆 Announcing the CHS 2026-2027 Teacher of the Year: Ms. Riviera Selph! 🐯
Let’s hear a massive roar for one of the absolute best in the business! We are thrilled to officially congratulate Ms. Riviera Selph on being named Claxton High School’s Teacher of the Year!

Ms. Selph has been a cornerstone of our math department for years, bringing passion, patience, and a high level of expertise to the hallways of CHS.

Why we are so proud to celebrate Ms. Selph:

Mastery of the Craft: She has worked tirelessly over the years to hone her skills, becoming an exceptional educator across a wide variety of mathematics courses.

Versatility in the Classroom: Whether breaking down foundational equations or guiding students through advanced math concepts, she makes learning accessible for every Tiger.

Unmatched Dedication: Her commitment to the success of our students, faculty, and staff makes CHS a better place every single day.

(This well-deserved honor comes right on the heels of her being named the 2026 STAR Teacher by Hannah Hendrix—it is safe to say it has been an incredible year of recognition for her!)

Thank you, Ms. Selph, for your hard work, your late hours, and your unwavering dedication to our school community. We appreciate you! 🖤💛

🚀 A "Good! Good! Good!" Finish for The Den Book Club! 📖📽️

The Den Book Club officially wrapped up a fantastic year of reading with one final, high-stakes mission: Andy Weir’s sci-fi hit, Project Hail Mary.

After diving into the novel and debating its science and suspense, our members put on their "critic" hats and rated the book on a 1–5 star scale. To finish the journey, the club took an after school field trip to Statesboro to catch the new movie adaptation.

As you can see in the pictures, our members thoroughly enjoyed both versions! In fact, as the character Rocky would say, the experience was “Good! Good! Good!” 👽🎶 The consensus among our readers? The movie did an incredible job of staying mostly true to the book—a rare win for book lovers everywhere!

A massive thank you to our fearless leader, Mrs. Holly Durrence, for her dedication to the club this year. Thank you for fostering a love for reading at The Den! 🐯🖤💛

🎓 One Last Walk, A Lifetime of Memories: The Class of 2026 Hall Walk 🎓

Today, Friday, May 15, 2026, the hallways of Evans County Schools were filled with a special kind of magic. Our seniors donned their graduation regalia and took their final walk through the schools that helped shape them into the young men and women they are today.

As they marched through the halls, they weren't just walking for themselves—they were walking for the elementary students who gave them high-fives and the middle schoolers who looked up with wide eyes. This tradition serves as a powerful reminder of what hard work and perseverance look like.

Why the Hall Walk matters:

Inspiring the Next Generation: Younger Tigers get to see exactly what their goal is.

A "Thank You" to Teachers: It’s a chance for former teachers to see how much their "little ones" have grown.

The Final Countdown: Tomorrow, these same students will cross Veterans Memorial Field as graduates!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. You’ve left your mark on these halls, and we can’t wait to see you lead the way tomorrow! 🐯🖤💛

To celebrate our students who successfully completed their Edgenuity classes this Spring semester, Mr. Carter donated a feast of hamburgers and cheeseburgers for our end-of-semester celebration!

A special shout-out to the team that made it happen:

Mr. Edward Carter: For his continued investment in our students' success.

Mrs. Amy McManama (Dairy Queen District Manager): For her expert help with the logistics and making sure everything ran smoothly.

The DQ Staff: To the hardworking employees who cooked and prepared every delicious burger—thank you!
