The Cherokee County School District counts the PTA
as its biggest partner in supporting schools, teachers and
staff and students.
Every school in CCSD is served by a PTA unit made up
of parents, teachers and staff and supported by local
businesses. These valued volunteers donate their time,
talent and treasure to support their school through
volunteering, fundraising, organizing special events like
the annual Reflections fine art contest for students, and
advocating on behalf of public education.
The PTA is a separate organization from CCSD, with
its own governance and accountability measures to ensure
all donations benefit schools, teachers and staff and
students. School PTA units in CCSD are overseen by the
Cherokee County Council of PTA. The Council of PTA is
led by a board of officers elected by school PTA leaders.
The 2021-22 Council of PTA leaders are: Co-Presidents
Catherine Shook and Lori Burton, Vice-President 1 Scott
Steinbrenner, Vice President 2 Emily Compson Trenbeath,
Secretary Tiffani Hairgrow and Treasurer Marieline
Reedy.
The Council of PTA leaders and officers from all
school PTA units regularly meet with the Superintendent
of Schools and his senior staff to hear updates on CCSD
initiatives and participate in an open forum discussion.
Through these conversations, greater opportunities for
collaboration develop, such as the Council of PTA’s
partnership with CCSD to present the annual Parent
University series.
Parent University provides the opportunity for parents
to attend free classes on topics designed to help their
children be academically and socially and emotionally
successful. Details about upcoming sessions are posted
on CCSD’s website and social media platforms and included
in the CCSD Connections monthly parent e-newsletter.
“We hope every parent will join the PTA at their
child’s school and play an active role in this important
opportunity for partnership,” Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Brian V. Hightower said. “Our schools are more
successful due to the dedication of PTA volunteers, from
the hours they serve in classrooms to the thousands of
dollars they pour into our schools to the voices they raise
in support of our teachers, staff and public education as a
whole. It is the best way for parents to become more
engaged in their child’s learning.”
