Remembering Mrs. Connie Strickland We shared the sad news last week of Mrs. Connie Strickland's passing. Mrs. Strickland was a pillar of our Tiger community, always ready with a warm welcome and a helping hand. Her dedication and commitment to our Tigers touched the lives of countless students, staff, parents, families, and community members. Mrs. Strickland is a member of our retiring class of 2024, and we wanted to take another moment to recognize her legacy. Please help us remember Mrs. Strickland's kindness and the impact she made on all of us!

So often this year we have mentioned the diversity of employment and experiences that our Work-Based Learning students have enjoyed. New CHS alumnus Cristian Vicente-Atjun spent his WBL year in employment with Benitez Painting. Mrs. Johns, WBL coordinator, visited him recently on a job site in Statesboro and observed his skill with the painting equipment. He paused long enough for a picture with his supervisor, Mr. Fulicer Benitez. Cristian plans to remain with Benitez Painting and the construction industry as he attends OTC to pursue a career in electrical sciences. We are very proud of you, Cristian! #TheDEN #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess
