CCEF Celebration of Education Gala

The Cherokee County Educational Foundation (CCEF) recently held its fourth annual Celebration of Education Gala, which was presented by Childrens Health Care of Atlanta. It had the largest attendance yet, and it successfully raised more than $80,000 for Impact grants to be given to teachers, assistance with coaches/guidance staff for special needs students, and course unit recovery to continue improvement on graduation rates throughout the School District.

Co-Chairs Amanda Arnold of Credit Union of Georgia and Debbie Rabjohn, a school district parent, along with Kevin Williams, vice-chair of the Foundation recognized William Hasty, Jr. (Billy) and Dr. Susan Buice as the Alumni and Alumnae of the Year, which was a culmination of their many years of service to the public schools of Cherokee County. Because Dr. Buice has also served as a teacher in the District, she was inducted into the Educator Hall of Fame.

Attendees enjoyed a cocktail hour while Sequoyah High School Orchestra students played, as the guests perused silent auction items including vacation homes, Porsche Driving Experiences, and dinner parties with Superintendent Dr. Brian Hightower (the honorary Gala chair) and School Board Chair Kyla Cromer. The dinner was catered by Carrabbas.

The entertainment for the evening was a top talent act from each of the Districts high schools vying for a $1,000.00 prize awarded to the school judged to be the best performance of the evening in a CCSDs Got Talent competition. The winning act was Cherokee High Schools Elizabeth Meeks and Branden Blackwells performance of When I Was Your Man.
