The mission of the Cherokee Central School System of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, with an awareness of our cultural uniqueness, is to educate students to be productive and responsible citizens in an ever changing world by committing our energies and resources to provide meaningful and comprehensive programs. 

Beginning in May we are implementing a new messaging service throughout our school. This new service is called Connect-ED and it will enable us to personally communicate with parents about emergency situations, school events and important issues impacting your child. It will allow us to send personalized voice messages to your family's home, work or cell phones, e-mail communications, and even text messages. We will be able to reach everyone in the district within minutes. For more information click this Connect-ED link to visit their web site.
