Calling all CMS 8th graders (AKA, the CHS Class of 2029)! The REACH application has been uploaded to the 8th Grade Class of 2029 Google Classroom. The REACH scholarship provides up to $10,000 that can be used to attend any HOPE eligible college in Georgia. To be eligible, students need to complete and submit the application by August 30th. This is an excellent opportunity for students to get financial assistance for college costs. Please do not wait until the last minute to begin this, as the application has several parts and takes a while to complete. Every 8th grade student should take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. We can't wait to find out who the REACH Scholars for the Class of 2029 will be! The application can be downloaded from the Claxton Middle School webpage under the Parent Resources section.

Welcome Back, Claxton Elementary! 🌟🎒📚 The faculty and staff are thrilled to see our hallways filled with eager faces ready for a new year of learning, growth, and fun. Together, we’ll make this year one to remember with exciting new projects, engaging lessons, and plenty of opportunities to shine. Here's to a fantastic year ahead—let’s make it the best one yet! #BackToSchool

One humble hero at CHS is Mr. Donnie Bates! Each day this man offers students a warm smile, kind hello, and a clean, inviting space to learn. Today was no exception! After welcoming students back to school during breakfast, Bates inspired second year Firefighting students by sharing his journey to becoming a firefighter. Thank you, Mr. Bates, for loving our school and community! #TheDEN #collegecareercommunity
