To commemorate this school year for Catoosa County students, the Transportation Department wanted to pay tribute to high school seniors and send best wishes for a happy summer to all students.
CCPS had the honor and privilege to conduct the inspiration at today’s Georgia State Board of Education meeting. We were asked to highlight the Heritage Middle School service project, H2O. The HMS Generals really inspired the board members!
