Red Ribbon Week
This week, Cambridge High School is joining schools and communities across the country to celebrate Red Ribbon Week and raise awareness about the importance of making healthy, drug-free choices!
For our high school students, these conversations matter now more than ever. The teen years bring new experiences, growing independence, and increased peer pressure. Red Ribbon Week is an opportunity to remind our students that their choices matter, their futures are bright, and it’s always okay to say NO to drugs and YES to their goals, health, and well-being!
End of Semester Information

Junior Meetings
Junior Meetings Are Underway!
Junior Meetings provide students and families with an opportunity to discuss senior-year course selections and plans for life after high school with their CHS 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 at their counselor's convenience and will forfeit the opportunity to have a parent or guardian participate.
To schedule your meeting, visit: Students & Families > Counseling > Junior Planning, then click on your CHS counselor's sign-up link.
