Art

Welcome to the Cherokee Charter Academy Art page!

We are so excited to engage your students in the world of art!

CCA has two art teachers that both teach K-6. We aim to encourage all our students to strengthen their own individual artistic skills. As well as foster an understanding, and appreciation for the fine arts.

I'm Ms. Hurley, this is my first year teaching art and I am truly excited to share my love of art with the students at CCA. I obtained a Bachelors degree in Business Management/Administration from the University of Pikeville where I grew up. I have two beautiful children, Kelvin and Kyndall. In my spare time, I like to craft and spend time with my family.
