Today, Cherokee High School’s Entrepreneurship students had the opportunity to hear from Russ Seagle, Director of Sequoyah Fund. Russ shared valuable information about the services and resources Sequoyah Fund provides to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Experiences like this help our students connect what we learn in the classroom to real world opportunities right here in our community. Russ has taken the time to speak with our students on several occasions and we truly appreciate his support, encouragement, and everything he does to help our students learn about entrepreneurship and opportunities in our community.

Derreus Diaz, 9th grade, and Russell Reed, 11th grade, at Cherokee High School have officially earned their Entrepreneurship and Small Business (ESB) Certifications, a nationally recognized credential sponsored by Intuit and NFTE. This certification proves they understand the key skills needed to launch and run a business, from core principles to developing a true entrepreneurial mindset. The ESB certification prepares students for college, postsecondary training, or entering the small business world directly after graduation. They are now one step closer to being their own bosses, and we couldn’t be prouder!

Way to go!

Our Cherokee High School CTE students had a meaningful experience on Tuesday with the ⚾️ Atlanta Braves marketing team. Students were able to explore the many sides of marketing within a major organization and see how creativity, collaboration, and strategy come together in real world work. We are truly grateful for the time, kindness, and encouragement shown to our students, and for helping them connect classroom learning to future career possibilities. We look forward to continuing to collaborate moving forward.

Students also visited New Echota State Historic Site where they received a guided tour and learned about its important role in Cherokee history. The experience gave students a deeper understanding of the events that took place there and the significance of preserving and honoring that history. From all of us in the Cherokee High School CTE Department, we are thankful for these enriching opportunities that help our students learn, reflect, and grow beyond the classroom.
