Dear CCPS Community,

Our students and teachers have done it again.

Public education looks a lot different today than it used to. We aren't just a place for academics anymore; on any given day, our schools are providing meals, mental health support, medical care, and a safe place for kids to just be kids. Our educators and staff are constantly juggling new state requirements, changing technology, and the diverse needs of our students.   Yet through every expanding responsibility, our core mission remains unchanged: uncompromising learning and student growth.

I am thrilled to share that our latest Georgia Milestones state testing results show that Catoosa County students are outperforming both our RESA region and the entire State of Georgia in nearly every tested subject area at the elementary, middle, and high school levels!

Here is how our schools performed across the entire district:

• 3rd Grade Math: Increase in math from FY25 to FY26 by +4.45%.
• 4th Grade Math: Outperformed RESA by +3.9% and the State by +4.2%.

A Moment of Well-Deserved Pride

These numbers aren't just statistics; they represent early mornings, late nights, rigorous classroom instruction, and bright young minds across every single school in our district.

To our students: Your hard work and grit prove that when expectations are set high, you exceed them. 

To our teachers and staff: Your expertise, passion, and tireless dedication behind the scenes make victories like this possible, and I can not thank you enough.

And to our families: Thank you for your constant partnership, support, and trust. 

This can only happen when we all work together to ensure success for every child, every day, without exception. We are raising the bar together, and our entire community has reason to celebrate!

With great pride, 

Chance Nix
