Hello Bear Family!
As you know, we are in the midst of testing season, and I am excited to see our students success! Thank you to all who are keeping up with the varying schedules...it is a lot, but it is necessary. Check out the Bear Weekly that is posted on social media each Monday, thanks to our wonderful Ms. Tess.
We sent out a family survey earlier this week that is collecting data for the accreditation process our district is in over these next few months. (I am including the message we sent out below.) Thank you in advance for all of those who completed it already. If you are like me, and you may have overlooked or "bookmarked it for later," hopefully this can serve as your friendly reminder. :-)
To our students heading to prom tomorrow evening, our baseball team playing at Lovett tomorrow, and track athletes headed to Sectionals next weekend, have fun, make good choices, and, always, Go Bears!!
Mrs. Ramsey
Good Afternoon!
The Hall County School District is scheduled to renew its system accreditation in February of 2024. Accreditation ensures that we as a district are providing our students with a quality education through measurable, meaningful improvement. Because Cherokee Bluff High School values our partnership with parents, input from you is critical to this year-long process. We would greatly appreciate you going to the link below to complete a brief survey that will provide us with valuable feedback. Parents/Guardians who have more than one student in grades 3-12 are asked to complete a separate Family Survey for each school in which you have a student enrolled. This allows the district to capture your experience with each school.
The information gathered is key to helping us meet the needs of all students, and we thank you in advance for your participation.

**As the weather changes, a few dress code reminders:
1) The top or outer layer worn with leggings (no matter the length) should hit the legs at fingertip length.
2) No sleep attire should be worn to school. (This includes robes, slippers, onesie pajamas etc)
3) Hats and hoods are not permitted within the building.

Congratulations to Jacob Benjamin for receiving Atlanta Falcons NFL High School Man of the Year!
This Award is modeled after the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. Aside from exemplary on-field performance- selection criteria include character, community service, leadership, academics, excellence, and well-roundedness. A short explanation would be a player that has a significant and positive impact on his community.
"For those of you that are familiar with Jacob, you know that he is an “obvious” selection for this prestigious award. He literally possesses each of these intangible characteristics. He is extremely gifted, driven, and humble. In addition, he is committed to a standard on excellence in EVERYTHING that he does. I can’t remember another young man being named ALL STATE in both football and band in the same year! He is heading to further his education and football career at The United States Military Academy. Without a doubt, a great ambassador for Cherokee Bluff High School!"
Coach Tommy Jones
