The class has attended an orientation with their parents and a retreat on Jan. 22 at the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce. Over the next two months, the 17 class members will develop a sense of community while discovering the impact of teamwork upon their peers, their schools, and Cherokee County. A graduation ceremony will be held in late March to honor the class.

The program is made possible this year by the support of program sponsors Allegro Business Products, Chattahoochee Technical College, Cherokee Recreation and Parks, Cobb EMC, Delta Community Credit Union, Northside Hospital Cherokee, Reinhardt University, and State Farm Insurance Jey Willis Agency.
