During halftime at our CHS Lady Tiger Flag Football game on 10/24/23, we had the privilege of honoring our dedicated and inspiring teachers. They're the real MVPs both on and off the field!
Each of the Lady Tigers chose a teacher and presented them with a gift and a handwritten thank you card.
Thank you to our incredible educators for shaping our future and supporting our dreams. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed!

A huge shoutout to all these students for their hard work, and a massive thank you to Georgia Southern University for making this wildlife show possible. 🦉🐍

Class of 2024 students and parents/guardians, if you missed out on the Senior Order Day at CHS, you can still order online at www.gradnow.com.
CMS 7th and 8th grade students had the opportunity to participate in TEEN MAZE on Friday, October 27th. TEEN MAZE began on Thursday evening, October 26th, with a community night where parents were able to view a sample of what their children would see the next day. Then, on Friday, 7th and 8th graders spent most of the day, beginning with a party scene and crash scene portrayed by members of the CHS Drama Team. Then students rotated through stations where they were given important information about gangs, vaping, sexual behavior/abuse, life and loss, social media and internet safety, abusive behavior, life skills and financial planning, substance and drug abuse, learners and drivers licenses, and how to know their worth. After the rotations and lunch, a guest speaker, Ms. Marni, spoke to the students about her daughter who unfortunately committed suicide at a young age. It is our hope at CMS that our students will take this information that has been presented and use it to help them make wise decisions that will help them become successful, productive citizens. We appreciate so much all who helped make this a successful event.
What a night! CES's Literacy Night, Fall into a Good Book, was a smashing success, thanks to our incredible students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and amazing community partners! Special shoutout to Laura's Mexican Store for treating us to scrumptious delights to share! We appreciate all that our stakeholders did to make this literacy celebration extra special for students and families! We're grateful for the teamwork and collaboration on behalf of our Tigers, and we can't wait for the next CES school, parent, family, and community adventure! #ReadySetGrow #CES

The Native American proverb, "It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story," is a great reminder of one of our 7 Mindsets- We Are Connected.

CMS students in Ms. Toothman's 5th period math class celebrated reaching their first achievement goal this year. Each class had an IXL goal of 50 points, and 5th period (6th graders) was the first class to meet the goal. They were celebrated with a special treat, courtesy of Ms. Toothman and Ms. Phillips. Congratulations, students! We are proud of your hard work!
