As part of our continued efforts to strengthen school security, we are introducing the OpenGate Weapons Detection System across our middle and high school campuses.

✨ Teacher of the Year Spotlight ✨
Matilda Harris Elementary School Teacher of the Year
This week, we are proud to celebrate Meg Margaret Alexander, our K/1/2 Collaborative Special Education teacher, with over 32 years in education! Meg became a teacher to help young children develop a love of learning. She loves planning for different needs in her small groups and finds the greatest joy in seeing understanding and confidence grow in her students.
When she’s not teaching, Meg loves to surf—and if she weren’t a teacher, she’d be a National Park Ranger.
Her motto, “Being kind is easy and free,” reflects the heart she brings to every student and every day. 💛

✨ A Magical Week at CCHS! ✨
This week, CCHS had the sweetest audience join them in the auditorium—students from our local elementary schools came to experience the holiday magic of “The Nutcracker,” performed by the incredibly talented CCHS dancers.

A huge thank-you to the Fine Arts Department and CCHS Dance for creating such a beautiful, memorable performance! 🎄✨

The holiday season can be busy and stressful for students, staff, and families alike. Take a moment for a “hot cocoa moment”—enjoy a warm drink, share a laugh, or pause in a cozy spot. These small moments of comfort help refill your emotional cup and support your well-being. 💙

🎓Congratulations to our talented eighth graders: Janiya Everett (CMS student) and Q'naz Short (SMMS student)! They've been awarded the $10,000 REACH Georgia Scholarship! 🎉
REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) is a mentoring and scholarship program providing promising students the support to graduate from high school and achieve postsecondary success.
In an effort to raise high school graduation rates in our state, REACH Georgia and REACH Georgia School Systems give support to the selected REACH Scholars beyond a financial scholarship. REACH Scholars are also given academic and social support to ensure they graduate from high school and attain a college degree or certificate. This multi-step approach leads to success for each child.📚✨

✨ Camden Middle School Teacher of the Year ✨
Congratulations to Mrs. Mary Rowe!
We are proud to celebrate Mrs. Rowe, a dedicated CMS Special Education teacher with 22 years in education.
Mrs. Rowe chose teaching because of her lifelong passion for supporting individuals with disabilities. She believes in empowering her students to express themselves, build independence, and take an active role in their school community. Her favorite part of the job is watching her introverted students blossom into confident, outgoing learners.
A fun fact about her is that she and her students run the beloved Cougar Café—even though she doesn’t like the taste or smell of coffee!
If she weren’t a teacher, she’d be a recreation therapist, and when she’s not at school, you can find her relaxing by combing the beach for shark teeth.
Her life motto:
💬 “Every day is a good day, some are just better than others.”
Join us in celebrating Mrs. Rowe for her dedication, heart, and the incredible impact she makes at CMS! 💙🐾

✨ Teacher Tuesday Spotlight ✨
This week we’re celebrating Mrs. Samantha Cato, Sugarmill Elementary's Teacher of the Year--a passionate 5th Grade ELA teacher with 10 years in education!
Mrs. Cato became a teacher because she has always loved working with children and wanted to be the supportive guide she once needed—especially as someone who struggled with reading growing up. She now inspires her students to build confidence and discover a love for books. Her favorite part of teaching is reading aloud and watching her students connect deeply with stories.
A fun fact about Mrs. Cato: she’s seen 30 Broadway shows! When she isn’t teaching, she enjoys baking, listening to audiobooks while crocheting, and relaxing on the beach with loved ones.
Inspired by Esther 4:14, Mrs. Cato believes educators are called to lead with purpose, grace, and courage “for such a time as this.”
Help us celebrate Mrs. Cato and the heart she brings to her students each day! 🌟

Administration at Camden County High School is aware of rumors circulating regarding a potential school shooting threat. After thoroughly reviewing these reports in collaboration with local law enforcement and our School Resource Officer, there is no credible threat to the high school or any district campus. Out of an abundance of caution, law enforcement and SROs will maintain their regular presence to support safety and reassurance.
We encourage families, students, and community members to avoid sharing unverified information. Anyone with concerns or information should contact the school administration directly.
The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we will continue to communicate openly with our community.
