Messages of Gratitude
This month, our school has been embracing the spirit of gratitude. Students have been sharing heartfelt notes of appreciation with the many staff members who support them each day, from teachers and counselors to custodians, cafeteria staff, security personnel, coaches, administrators, and support staff.
As we continue this celebration of thankfulness, we would like to invite our families to participate as well. If a staff member has made a difference in your child's life, provided support during a challenging time, or simply brightened their day, we encourage you to share a message of gratitude.
Your words of appreciation remind our staff that their hard work, care, and commitment do not go unnoticed. Thank you for partnering with us in celebrating the incredible people who serve our students every day.

- Financial Literacy and Life Readiness
- Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
- Accountability and Responsibility
- Resilience and Growth Mindset
- Collaboration, Empathy, and Relationships
PHASE 2: please give us your thoughts on these identified themes so we can deepen our understanding. We appreciate every response and every voice!

Pre-approved absences during the final two weeks of the semester (December 7-18, 2026) will not be approved. Students are expected to be in attendance. The only exception applies to students who do not have a recovery opportunity from the final unit of study; those students may remain home on Friday, December 18. Please see the schedule below for details.
Junior Meetings with Counselor
If you have not already done so, please schedule your Junior Planning Meeting with your counselor. These meetings provide students and families the opportunity to discuss senior-year course selections, postsecondary plans, graduation requirements, and life after high school with their Cambridge High School counselor.
Many of our 11th-grade families have not yet scheduled a meeting. These conferences are required by the State of Georgia for all juniors. Students who do not schedule a meeting will be called in individually at their counselor's convenience and will forfeit the opportunity for a parent or guardian to participate.
To schedule your meeting, visit Students & Families > Counseling > Junior Planning and click on your counselor's sign-up link.
