This week, our newest group of fifth-grade student leaders from across CCSD came together for their first Elementary School Student Advisory Board meeting with Superintendent of Schools Mary Elizabeth Davis.
Our performing arts programs are taking the stage and our fine arts programs are filling galleries for a new season! To highlight all of our creative students, we've updated the name of our performing arts calendar to the CCSD Fine Arts Events Calendar.

"This is a celebration our community can join in. When our students succeed, our schools succeed, and when our schools succeed, our community succeeds!" The work we have undertaken to align our vision from the boardroom to the classroom and to shift more funding than ever before from the central office into our classrooms is producing an incredible return on investment for our community.
The Cherokee County School Board, at its regular meeting on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, heard a report on students’ outstanding state assessment performance, learned about schools’ improvement plans for this school year, and reviewed enhancements to school safety and security.
Our students’ performance has increased to new heights as our School Board’s laser focus on teaching and learning continues to elevate the excellence! Georgia Milestones Assessment results released this week show an increase in 9 of 13 performance areas compared to 2025. Our students not only continue to outperform state averages in all tested areas for an 11th consecutive year, they also surged even further ahead with double-digit margins over state performance in 11 of 13 areas!
