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! 🐷🐔

A big thanks is extended to Culinary Arts Instructor Cindy Hart and our FCCLA officers for representing Claxton High School and The DEN at today’s Claxton Rotary Club meeting! Hart and her very polished student leaders shared all about FCCLA’s mission of leadership and service. They even sweetened the occasion with homemade banana pudding and a decadent chocolate layer cake. Thank you, Paul Coley and Claxton Rotary Club for welcoming and encouraging our Tigers!

🎓 CMS Students Explore Career Pathways at Georgia Southern! 🌟

On Thursday, October 23, 2025, Mrs. Tanner and Ms. Mincey chaperoned 20 8th grade students from Claxton Middle School on an exciting trip to Georgia Southern University’s Savannah campus for the RISE Experience.

The event provided students with hands-on opportunities to explore career pathways in manufacturing, logistics, and assembly, helping them connect what they’re learning in the classroom to real-world industries and future career possibilities.

Students were selected for this trip based on data from their YouScience platform, highlighting their strengths, interests, and potential career matches.

👏 We’re proud of our students for taking this step toward discovering their futures!

💗 Thank you, Mrs. Ashleigh Geurin! 💗

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! 🎀

We always enjoy her visits and appreciate the important information and positivity she brings each time. 💕

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!

📚💛🖤 Classroom Spotlight: Ms. Beecher’s 8th Grade Georgia History! 🖤💛📚

Talk about maximizing learning time! Even during restroom breaks, students in Ms. Beecher’s 8th Grade Georgia History class stay engaged and focused. 🙌

In these pictures, students are working on maps, continuing the lesson right where they left off when it was break time.

👏 One of the best parts? Students are cheering each other on when classmates answer the “ticket in the door” questions correctly — supporting one another and building a positive classroom culture!

Way to go, Ms. Beecher and students! Keep showing what Gold & Black excellence looks like! 🖤💛
