Fourteen Cherokee County School District students placed at the statewide Georgia 4-H Project Achievement Competition!

The competition was held virtually, with students in grades 4-8 showcasing their knowledge in a topic of interest.  For the contest, students choose an area of interest, researched the topic and then wrote and presented a report. 

“Congratulations to each of these state champions for their initiative and dedication!” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said.  “The 4-H program offers our students outstanding opportunities to learn, lead and serve, and we appreciate all of the volunteers who make this possible.”
