CCSD Students Win at Regional Technology Competition

Forty-one Cherokee County School District students are advancing to the Georgia Student Technology Competition!  CCSD students earned the opportunity to compete in the statewide event next month by winning first place in the recently held Piedmont Regional Technology Competition.  The annual contest invites students in grades 3-12 to create projects in a range of real-world technology industry categories such as programming, robotics, and video production.  Congratulations to the honorees and their teachers and thank you to our School Board for its laser focus on ensuring our students are learning more, growing more, and achieving more in our classrooms than they could anywhere else!
