In a recent government meeting, officials expressed gratitude for the successful preparations made in anticipation of Hurricane Helene, which spared the local area from significant damage while other parts of the state faced challenges. The meeting highlighted the commendable efforts of staff members who ensured readiness for the storm, with particular acknowledgment of Tony McCullers and his technology team, as well as Ryan White and the operations staff, who worked diligently to prepare schools.

Looking ahead, the district is set to host its Teacher of the Year banquet, rescheduled due to the storm threat, with the event taking place tomorrow evening at 6 PM. This occasion will honor twelve outstanding educators and announce the district's Teacher of the Year, reflecting the board's commitment to recognizing excellence in education.

Additionally, the district announced plans to hold graduation ceremonies at Akins Ford Arena this year, a shift from previous years when the University of Georgia's coliseum was unavailable due to construction. Feedback from Steve and Kevin, who toured the arena, was positive, indicating a promising venue for the upcoming celebrations.
