On the beautiful morning of Friday, August 8, 2025, our CHS freshmen marked the beginning of their high school journey with a heartfelt Commitment Ceremony! 🖊️✨
We were honored to welcome back CHS alumnus and 2025 Vanderbilt University graduate, Stephan Bellamy, who inspired our newest Tigers with powerful words about the value of education and perseverance. 🎓📚💪
As a meaningful symbol of their commitment, the Class of 2029 signed a graduation gown 👕—a pledge to walk across that stage as proud CHS graduates in four years! 🎯🎓
📸 After capturing a group photo full of smiles and excitement, families and students enjoyed refreshments and celebrated this special moment together. 🥤🍪
We’re thrilled to watch this class grow, achieve, and leave their legacy at CHS. Here's to a future full of memories, milestones, and #TigerPride! 💛🖤
💥 Go Tigers! 💥

Students in Mrs. Watkins and Ms. Toothman’s 8th grade math classes have officially completed Lesson 1 of Unit 1 — and they did it with a ROAR! 📚💡
Using Algebra tiles and balance scales, students explored and explained each step of solving linear equations. But it wasn’t just about math — it was a clear display of our ROAR expectations in action:
🔹 R – Respect for Others: Working collaboratively and supporting each other
🔹 O – Own Your Actions: Taking responsibility for their learning and thinking
🔹 A – Act Safely: Using tools and materials with care and purpose
🔹 R – Ready to Engage: Fully participating and staying focused throughout the lesson
We’re proud of our 8th graders for showing what it means to ROAR both in and out of the classroom. Keep up the great work! 🙌✨

The Evans County School Nutrition Program employees kicked off another school year by attending a back-to-school training at Southeastern Technical College last Thursday. We are excited to serve our students quality nutritious meals again this school year! A few of the topics included were: Customer Service, Health Inspections, Communication in the Workplace, Conflict Conversations, and "Preparation, Presentation, and Variety".
✨ First Day of Spanish 1 with Mrs. Francis! ✨
On Friday, August 1, our students kicked off the year with a hands-on activity designed to build a key college-ready skill: reading and analyzing independently. 📚✏️
Spanish is a rigorous elective that fulfills the four-year university admission requirement, and at Claxton High School, we are committed to preparing ALL students for success in college, career, and community.
Students partnered up and rotated through syllabus review and analysis stations, where they:
🔍 Located specific sections of the syllabus
🤝 Collaboratively analyzed the information
✅ Applied their understanding through real-life scenarios, fill-in-the-blanks, and true/false questions.
This activity not only helped students understand class expectations but also modeled the thinking and self-management skills they'll need in the classroom and the real-world!
