Today, the student councils from our seven high schools enjoyed their end-of-the-year celebration at Chesapeake City Park! 🌏🌲
Over 175 SCA members and their sponsors spent time in the park completing service projects, learning about the value of community service, enjoying a celebratory cookout, and spending time with their friends from across the district.
Thank you to the Youth Volunteer Corps of Hampton Roads for coordinating these projects for our student councils and for their commitment to serving our community and youth. 👏 #CPSCelebrates #InspireCPS #EmpowerCPS

Danielle Saitta from WTKR News 3 visited our Chesapeake Career Center on Friday to talk to two seniors, Hayden Tayloy and Alexander Hagen, and their grandfathers, Glenn Brown and Robert Head. Both Head and Brown formally served as Assistant Principals at CCC and reflected on the changes to the school and the welding and HVAC industries with their grandsons.

Today, teachers across the district were surprised with gold medals and certificates from Superintendent Dr. Cotton for being champions in teaching!
