Cherokee County School District Announcements

Indian Knoll ES Named Microsoft Showcase School
For the second consecutive year, Indian Knoll ES has earned a global honor recognizing its dedication to using technology for teaching and learning. Only 43 U.S. schools were selected as 2022-23 Microsoft Showcase Schools, and only two Georgia schools were named to the list.


Indian Knoll ES PE Teacher Wins Top State Award
The Georgia Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance honored Jason Bermudez of Indian Knoll ES as the Georgia Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year. Each year, one Georgia PE elementary, middle, and high school teacher is recognized as PE Teacher of the Year. The award honors excellence in ensuring students receive a complete and diverse PE education.

Additionally, the three teachers who make up the PE department for Liberty ES, Jose Lago, Rick Myers, and Lucy Pence, together earned the association’s Award of Excellence in Physical Education.


CCSD Earns International Recognition for Excellence in Education
CCSD is one of only 38 school districts in the world to be named a 2022 Cognia School System of Distinction by the international accreditation organization. The recognition honors school districts that “exemplify excellence in education and service to learners.”


Students Honored With National College Board Awards
Through National Recognition Programs awards, the College Board has honored 88 CCSD students, including 16 from high schools in Woodstock. To be considered for recognition, students must meet guidelines, have a GPA of at least 3.5, and have either exceptional test scores placing them in the top 10% in their state on the 2021 PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 or scores of 3 or higher on two or more 2022 Advanced Placement (AP) exams.

The programs are designed by the College Board to provide recognition opportunities for high school seniors and juniors in underrepresented groups. Students may apply for the National African American Recognition Award, National Hispanic Recognition Award, National Indigenous Recognition Award, and National Rural and Small Town Recognition Award. Students can earn multiple recognitions.
