Cherokee County, GA is home to one of the premier school districts in the State of Georgia and the Nation. There was a time when this statement could not have been further from the truth. The school district chronicles where it was 15 years ago and where it is today in its latest release of the Cherokee County School District’s “Renaissance in Education” publication.
The publication is available on the CCSD website and gives an overview of the significant educational policy and program changes and reforms implemented throughout the School District under the leadership of the School Board and Dr. Frank R. Petruzielo, Superintendent of Schools. Parents, members of the community, and potential new residents are encouraged to review this comprehensive report on the status of the CCSD educational system.
Some of CCSD’s achievements are:
– District SAT scores are 69 points above the national average and 115 points above the state average.
– The district attracts the best teachers with a very competitive starting salary of $41,915, and all are deemed “Highly Qualified”
– Every school has wireless technology, computer labs, and interactive whiteboards in classrooms.
