We appreciate the engagement from our school, community, and from afar SO MUCH that we wanted to share a SNEAK PEEK of our Bell Memorial/Pecan Grove commemorative t-shirts we will have available for purchase at the game on 11/4.
Our Bell Memorial/Pecan Grove commemorative t-shirts will feature the artwork of CHS's very own, Mrs. Robin Smith! Mrs. Smith teaches art at CHS, and, without a doubt, she's a very talented artist!

ECCSS educators had the wonderful opportunity to participate in externships offered by the Georgia Department of Education’s STEM/STEAM Team. The goal of the externship is to provide educators with rich professional learning to enhance subject expertise and support the development of locally-driven Project Based Learning Units.
For the past few days, we've showcased each of our educators and our community partners who helped provide these opportunities to our staff! We have one last round of pics of externships in action and what our educators had to say about their experiences.
Please help ECCSS recognize and celebrate LaDetra Calhoun from CES!

Daisy/ Nevils Bridge Construction Transportation Update
The Daisy/ Nevils Bridge construction project is scheduled to start on Monday, October 24th. It is supposed to run through the end of March. It should only have a minimal impact (5 to 7 minutes) on three ECCSS bus routes. Our ECCSS Transportation Department began planning for this closure last year.
If there are unexpected impacts to our transportation due to this (or other causes), we will notify our schools, families, and community.

Mrs. Holly Durrence, CEO of the Evans Region College and Career Academy (ERCCA), shared information and celebrations during the ECCSS Board of Education (BOE) meeting on Monday night.
Mrs. Durrence shared information about current and projected workforce needs and how ECCSS provides a variety of options for students as they prepare for life after high school. Mrs. Durrence emphasized the current and expected workforce demands for people in health and technical careers, and she shared a table showing the projected income for someone with a two-year degree, a four-year degree, and someone entering the workforce right out of high school.
Mrs. Durrence also celebrated CHS’s 2022 graduation rate. CHS’s graduation rate increased to 91.8%, 2.6 percentage points higher than last year, and 7.7 percentage points higher than the state average. CHS’s graduation rate has exceeded the state’s rate for the last five years. Additionally, CHS’s graduation rate has increased by 17.1 percentage points since 2017, the first year of the district’s strategic plan.
