The Cherokee County School District’s graduation rate continues to exceed State averages with 87% of the Class of 2019 earning a diploma within four years of entering high school.

CCSD’s performance tops the State’s rate of 82% -- an all-time high since the State began using a new formula required by Federal law.  Georgia’s rate has increased by 12 percentage points since 2012, while CCSD has climbed nearly 15 points.

Seven Cherokee County School District students have been named to the State School Superintendent’s 2019-20 Student Advisory Council!

Middle school students often need a chance to express their feelings, positive and negative, to their peers and caring adults.  Yet, too often they are unsure of themselves and afraid to take the risk. 

The August edition of the CCSD Connections parent e-newsletter is now online here, and is filled with important news & updates.

The Cherokee County School District is sponsoring a video contest with a $500 prize to seek students’ help in raising awareness of the dangers of vaping.
