CCSD Students Succeed at 2025 Regional 4-H Competition

Cherokee County School District students placed at the recent regional 4-H Competition, with one student now advancing to the statewide contest.

The 4-H extra-curricular program, sponsored locally by the UGA Cooperative Extension Office, offers students the opportunity to learn new skills, improve their teamwork and leadership skills and serve their community.  Thank you to 4-H for its valued partnership!
