Our office will be closed on Wednesday, June 19 in recognition of Juneteenth. ——————————————————- Juneteenth is more than a celebration of the end of slavery; it symbolizes hope, freedom, and self-determination. While we acknowledge our country’s progress, we also recognize the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equality. Let’s continue educating ourselves, uplifting Black voices, and actively working towards a more just society where freedom is protected and ALL students can succeed. #AllinforKids #equality #Juneteenth

She will be attending North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University this fall to major in mechanical engineering. #AggiePride! Mariyah's CIS Site Coordinator, Monay Miller, describes Mariyah as hard-working, focused, and a joy to work with. “Mariyah has big dreams and does not shy away from the work that is required to make things happen,” she said.

Please meet Derrick, a proud 2024 graduate of Hopewell High School! This fall, Derrick is headed to University of North Carolina at Charlotte on a football scholarship. However, while Derrick is excited to play football at the college level, he says his CIS Site Coordinator at Hopewell, Nyja Cauley, has influenced his vision of his college experience and what it can do for his future. "Being in CIS and working with Ms. Cauley showed me different ways to look at college instead of only from the sports/athlete perspective," said Derrick. "She taught me how important your college experience can be in setting you up for the future." According to Ms. Cauley, Derrick has always been a quiet, humble student, but also a "force to be reckoned with," she said. "I see a superstar forming in Derrick. Whether in the sports arena or another career field, Derrick will be successful." 🎓🎉 Read more about Derrick in our #SeniorSpotlight at: https://ow.ly/i60e50ShxfM #CIS #CIScharlotte #Classof2024 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Communities In Schools National Office
