Ramsey's Reflections
Hello Bear Family,
We made it through first semester! We are so proud of our students and staff for all of their hard work these past few months. Wow, we sure have had opportunities to watch so many of our students shine brightly this fall and early winter.
While some of you may be scurrying around to finish shopping and baking and cleaning, I truly hope you all get to rest in the joy that time with your loved ones can bring. I hope you will soak up the last few moments of this year reminiscing on the events, memories, and celebrations of 2024.
All of Hall County School District will be closed until January 6. Students will return to classes January 7th.
Happy Holidays! Make good choices, and, always, Go Bears!
Mrs. Ramsey
There will be NO Winter School this year. Please make sure you check your student's grades and watch for communication from their teacher as the semester draws to a close.

IDs and Dress Code
Our Dress Code is listed below, and a great visual reminder was created by one of our teachers is referenced to the right.
IDs are part of our school dress code and are issued to all students and staff and are expected to be visibly worn on a lanyard around the neck during the school day.
Please consider these guidelines when purchasing Back to School clothes. While our first concern is that students remain in class, students who consistently defy the dress code will have consequences beginning with calling a parent or guardian to bring other clothing to school and ending with possible ISS for not following school rules.

Hey One Bear Nation,
Just a quick note to say how fortunate we are to be in a community like ours. You all turn out to wear purple and support our Bears every step of the way. It is something that our student athletes and coaches know without a doubt. We have had some amazing things happen this Fall season and are grateful for each of them. But, more importantly, we are thankful for you being there every step of the way. Have wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Go Bears,
Coach Hill
Swim Team
Swim continues a strong season and is looking forward to a great finish January 18th at the Hall County championships. December also meant we took some away from the pool as a team to do service and worked as volunteers at the Autism Speaks Atlanta Walk. It was a cold but fun morning followed by a fun day at Six Flags after!
Wrestling
The Cherokee Bluff Wrestling Team continues to improve in preparation for dual team competition for County, Region, and State. They are focused on refining their techniques, building strength, conditioning, and developing a strong team mentality to achieve their goals.
Girls Basketball
Girls Basketball is off to a good start! Lanierland is this weekend, and after a Day 1 victory we are pulling for a history making Lanierland for our girls.
Boys Basketball
The men’s basketball team is currently ranked 7th in Class 3A and has started the season only losing 1 game. Lanierland is underway and we are hoping to defend our title as Lanierland Champs this weekend. Come out and support!
Bear Achievements
Bear Achievements
Levi Selman, one of our seniors, has been selected as one of only two drummers in the prestigious Georgia All-State Jazz Band. This is an extraordinary honor, achieved by less than 1% of the over 5,000 students who auditioned statewide. Levi’s selection places him among the top young jazz musicians in Georgia, regardless of school size or classification.
Levi’s accomplishment is the musical equivalent of winning an individual state championship—an incredible testament to his years of hard work, countless hours of practice, and relentless pursuit of excellence. As part of this honor, Levi will perform with the All-State Jazz Band at the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) In-Service Conference in Athens, GA, from January 30 to February 1, 2024.
In addition to this remarkable achievement, Levi has applied to several prestigious universities, including the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, where he plans to continue his journey as a musician and scholar.
Please join me in congratulating Levi on this well-deserved recognition and in celebrating the dedication and talent he exemplifies. This is a proud moment for our school and community!

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
The iconic Christmas tree has a lot of roots (forgive the pun). Ancient Egyptians used to mark the winter solstice by decorating their homes with green palms, while the Romans celebrated Saturnalia with evergreen boughs. These green plants signified that the spring would return with new life. The first Christmas trees as we know them today started in Germany in the 16th Century.
