Superintendent Meets With Cherokee County Council PTA Leaders

CANTON, GA — As part of the Cherokee County School District’s back-to-school preparations, Superintendent Brian Hightower held his first meeting with the Cherokee County Council PTA’s new executive board.

The Cherokee County Council PTA oversees all the school PTA units in the district. It is a separate organization from the district with its own governance structure, and this year’s officers are Co-Presidents Catherine Shook and Lori Burton, Vice President 1 Scott Steinbrenner, Vice President 2 Emily Trenbeath, Secretary Tiffani Hairgrow and Treasurer Marieline Reedy.

During the meeting, Hightower shared updates on school operations and heard feedback on how the district can continue to improve. He and the PTA leaders also talked about plans for this year’s Parent University, a collaboration between Cherokee Schools and the Cherokee County Council PTA to offer programs for parents focused on how they can help their child succeed in school and in life.

“The PTA is our most valued partner in supporting our schools,” Hightower said. “We hope every parent will join the PTA at their child’s school and play an active role in this important opportunity for not only volunteering and fundraising, but also for advocating for our students, teachers and public education as a whole. Our PTA volunteers and leaders make a positive difference in the lives of our community’s children, and we greatly appreciate their service.”
