Cherokee Schools Celebrates Future Educators During Signing Day

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — The Cherokee County School District has celebrated future educators last month.

High schools held signing day events as part of Teacher Appreciation Month to honor graduating seniors who plan to pursue careers in education.

“Learning one of your students plans to be a teacher is an incredibly proud moment for an educator,” Superintendent Brian Hightower said. “I’m so proud of each of these students for making the decision to influence eternity by teaching the next generation. We hope to see you back in our classrooms in a few years to rejoin the #CCSDfam as a teacher. Congratulations and thank you!”
