Dear Cartersville High School Community,
As we wrap up another memorable school year, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our students, our staff, and our Cartersville community who all work together to make Cartersville High School such a special place.
This year, we say goodbye to a truly special group of graduates. You’ve left your mark on our halls, our hearts, and our history. We will miss you dearly, but we are so proud of all you’ve accomplished and excited for the bright futures that await you. Please take a moment to watch the Class of 2025 video produced by CHS Senior and now alumnus, Blake Gochee.

Have a safe and joyful summer break, and as always, Go Canes!
