CCSD : CCSD Student Attending National Conference As State Delegate

Press release from Cherokee County School District:

March 15, 2022

A Cherokee County School District student is attending a national educational conference as a state delegate and has earned a prestigious leadership award!

Cherokee High School junior Laney Cline will represent Georgia at the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C. this month.  Laney also earned the elite title of Master 4-H’er -- the highest award offered in 4-H -- by achieving selection to the national conference.  To earn the title, students must demonstrate the core 4-H concepts of belonging, mastery of learning, generosity and independence.  

“Congratulations to Laney on these important achievements,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said.  “We know she will represent her school, our community and the state with enthusiasm and professionalism.  She is an outstanding scholar, athlete and leader in her school and community, and we look forward to seeing her many future successes.”

She and five other Georgia delegates from across the state earned the opportunity through completion of specific requirements set by 4-H, an extra-curricular program sponsored locally by the UGA Cooperative Extension Office.  The requirements include successful competition of 4-H project and leadership work, leadership activities outside of 4-H, civic engagement activities, an essay and an interview.

During the national conference, students from across the country will participate in leadership, team-building and communications activities.  They also will attend roundtable discussions, briefings with government officials and visits with national legislators.
