Dear CHS Students, Families, and Canes Community,
We hope everyone has enjoyed the nice weather this weekend. As a final reminder, we would greatly appreciate if all CHS families would take the time to complete the Georgia Department of Education school climate survey. Parent survey link: https://survey.gadoe.org/FM?sid=708891ED
On Friday, three students from Cartersville High School were notified that they were chosen as Governor’s Honors Program Semifinalists. We want to congratulate Connor Lyles, Annette Nevarez Tarango, and Morgan Grinage and wish them the best of luck!
We want to congratulate CHS students Ramsey Rowell (Digital Photo Production)
and William Reed (Device Modification) who are advancing to the State Technology Competition in Macon.
Our JROTC Drill Team had another great weekend, and we have six wrestlers who will advance to the state wrestling tournament on Thursday and Friday of this week. Our boys soccer team posted a win on Friday. The region basketball tournament for both boys and girls will begin this week at Allatoona High School. As our Winter sports are wrapping up, our Spring sports and concert seasons are just beginning.
We hope everyone has a great week and Go Canes!
