Chatham County Schools

Earlier this week, Chatham County Schools joined the Chatham County Board of Commissioners for their budget retreat, where they shared district successes and discussed priorities for the upcoming fiscal year.

Following collaborative discussions with CCS stakeholders, Dr. Jackson shared key priorities that reflect both classroom perspectives and district goals as planning for the 2026–27 school year continues.

We appreciate the continued partnership with our county leaders as we work together to support our students, staff, and schools. #OneChatham #ElevateChatham

A principios de esta semana, Las Escuelas del Condado Chatham se unió a la Junta de Comisionados del Condado Chatham para su retiro presupuestario, donde se compartieron los logros del distrito y se discutieron las prioridades para el próximo año fiscal.

Tras conversaciones colaborativas con las partes interesadas de CCS, el Dr. Jackson compartió prioridades clave que reflejan tanto las perspectivas del aula como los objetivos del distrito, mientras continúa la planificación para el año escolar 2026–27.

Agradecemos la continua colaboración con nuestros líderes del condado mientras trabajamos juntos para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes, personal y escuelas.

✨ CONGRATS to our December Champions of Character, Zimeen Smith from George Moses Horton Middle School. His nominator said, "I am honored to nominate Zimeen for the Perseverance Award. Throughout his time at our school, Zimeen has demonstrated extraordinary determination and resilience. He has faced numerous challenges in his learning journey, yet he has never allowed those challenges to define him or hold him back. Instead, he consistently shows up with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and an unwavering commitment to improving his academic skills. From 5th grade to 8th grade, the growth Zimeen has made is truly remarkable. He has pushed himself academically, showing steady progress and a genuine desire to learn. Even when things felt difficult, he refused to give up—always giving his best effort and embracing every opportunity to grow. This year, Zimeen extended that same perseverance beyond the classroom by working extremely hard and earning a spot on the school basketball team. His dedication, both academically and athletically, is a powerful reflection of his resilience and determination.
Zimeen is a model of what it means to persevere, and I am proud to recognize his incredible progress and unwavering spirit." #OneChatham #WildcatWay
