It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Ms. Carolyn Sowell's passing yesterday morning.
Ms. Sowell served as an educator in our area for many years, and she devoted over 23 years to our Tigers in Evans County. Since 2019, Ms. Sowell worked at CHS, and she was loved and respected by students and staff.
Ms. Sowell will be truly missed. Please keep Ms. Sowell's family, CHS, and all who love Ms. Sowell lifted up in love and prayers.

Every purchase from a local business contributes directly to our community's economic vitality. It's a powerful way to keep money circulating within our neighborhoods, supporting local jobs and fostering a thriving local economy.
Consider supporting our FLEX Businesses this holiday season! They are run by some pretty amazing students, who also happen to be your family, friends, and neighbors! Choosing to support them creates a network of relationships that goes beyond a simple transaction. It's about fostering connections and building a stronger, more resilient community.
Remember, every choice we make as consumers shapes the community we live in. Let's make a difference, one local purchase at a time! #TheDEN

It’s not the holidays without Claxton Fruitcake! This dessert is famous worldwide, and one of our very own Work-Based Learning students helps get it to tables and shelves both far and near. Here senior Will Parker is pictured on the job at the Claxton Fruitcake Bakery with just a few of the many products that people from all over will enjoy this holiday season. Will is carrying on the family tradition that was begun by his great-grandfather, Albert Parker, in the mid 1940’s. Will’s supervisor says that he’s learning the business and has quickly become a key player in his department. You make CHS proud, Will!” #TheDEN

Thanks to the Claxton Fire Department, Coach McLeans's 8th grade health classes were able to learn the proper technique and usage of fire extinguishers. They put out real fires in a controlled environment to help them understand how extinguishers work in emergency situations. We hope that these students never have to use a fire extinguisher, but we want them to know how to do it correctly if the need ever arises! #RoarANDSoar
