CCSD Recognizes 2024 Superintendent's Key Scholars
The Cherokee County School District on Thursday night celebrated 279 outstanding high school students as 2024 Superintendent’s Key Scholars!
These top students were recognized, through the 19th Annual Superintendent’s Key Scholar Recognition Ceremony, for scores achieved on the PSAT that rank them in the top 10% nationwide.
“Congratulations to our Key Scholars on earning this achievement through your dedication to academic success,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said. “We know this honor is earned through hard work by these students and exemplary instruction and guidance from our outstanding teachers. Best wishes as you continue your learning!”
Each honoree receives an embroidered “Key Scholar” letter-jacket patch, pen and keychain as part of the districtwide academic recognition program. Students who scored at the 95th percentile or greater on the PSAT in their sophomore or junior year receive additional recognition and will receive a special cord to wear at their graduation ceremony.
The Key Scholar program costs are sponsored by Cobb EMC and LGE Community Credit Union, CCSD Partners, and representatives from both organizations gave remarks during the program. The program, which was held at Cherokee High School, also featured a performance by the school’s Chamber Singers choral group directed by teacher Brad Ellis and the presentation of colors by the school’s Air Force JROTC Color Guard.
Congratulations to this year’s Key Scholars:
