Nine Cherokee County School District students recently earned honors for their technology skills!

Sponsored by the CCSD’s Technology and Information Services division, the Adobe Express Challenge is held every quarter for students in all grades to demonstrate their creativity and digital skills.  

For the third quarter’s challenge, students were tasked with using animations to create a digital snow globe.  Students extended the challenge by adding music, narration and background effects to their entries.  The 164 entries were judged in grade level bands, and certificates and ribbons were presented to the winners.
