CMS recently held a signing ceremony for the Class of 2028 REACH Scholars. These students earned a $10,000 scholarship that will be awarded to them upon high school graduation. The students were chosen by a group of judges through an extensive interview process. Mr. Freddie Gardner, judge and guest speaker at the ceremony, spoke about how well these five students performed in their interview. The students had the opportunity to introduce themselves and speak about their plans after high school. The students took a pledge to maintain good attendance, grades, and behavior, and their parents and other adults present took a pledge to hold them accountable and help them be successful. Dr. Waters, ECCSS Superintendent, congratulated the students and told them that we would love to have them back in our school system as teachers one day, if they so chose that career. Mrs. McDowell, CMS principal, congratulated the students on this major accomplishment and told them how proud Claxton Middle School is of them. We would like to thank the Strickland Foundation because without their generous contribution, this scholarship would not be possible for our students. Congratulations to our Class of 2028 REACH Scholars: Amy Allende-Muthe, Allisson Martinez, Braylon Ball, Naomi Morales-Perez, and Katherine Rosales-Rodriguez.

What’s something that senior Giovanni Cruz-Muthe and the faculty and staff of the Evans County system have in common? They’re all employed by the Evans County Board of Education! That’s right- some of our work-based learning students work in campus jobs at our three schools and in our BOE office. They went through the same hiring process as our faculty and staff, and they are on the same payroll. Some work in our cafeterias, one is employed with the custodial staff, and Giovanni works with the BOE IT Department. In these photos, he is doing some data entry for the CES Media Center. Giovanni plans to have a post-graduation career in IT. Now that’s some real world experience! We’re proud of you, Giovanni! #TheDEN
