Remove Personal Items: Take off any personal stickers (that aren't school-issued) and clear out any USB mouse receivers or headphones.

🍎 Celebrating Our Visionaries: Happy National School Principals Day!
Today, Chambers County Schools pauses to celebrate the dedicated leaders who steer our ships, inspire our students, and support our educators every single day.
Being a principal isn't just a job; it’s a calling. From the early morning bus loops to the late-night cheers at athletic events, our principals are the heartbeat of our schools. They balance the roles of mentor, manager, cheerleader, and visionary with grace and unwavering commitment.
Why We Love Our Principals:
They Lead by Example: Setting the tone for excellence and kindness.
They Advocate for Students: Ensuring every child has the tools they need to succeed.
They Support Our Staff: Building a community where teachers can thrive.
They Bridge the Gap: Connecting our schools with the wonderful Chambers County community.
"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." — John C. Maxwell
To our elementary, middle, and high school principals: Thank you for your tireless work, your passion for education, and your dedication to the future of Chambers County. We are so proud to have you at the helm!

🎉 Congratulations to our 2026 Amazing Shake Jr. winners! 🎉
WINNER: Allia Rogers - Fairfax Elementary - 4th grade
Second Place: Cailer Tucker - Fairfax Elementary - 5th grade
Third Place: Jewel Bowman - Eastside JP Powell Magnet School - 5th grade
The Amazing Shake is a character and soft-skills competition where students practice real-world professionalism—think firm handshakes, clear introductions, confident conversation, problem-solving on the spot, and gracious manners. Over multiple “stations,” they met community judges, tackled quick scenarios, and showed poise under pressure. It’s all about preparing students to shine in interviews, presentations, and everyday life.
Our winners stood out for their confidence, clarity, and kindness. They listened well, responded thoughtfully, and handled each challenge with maturity—well done!
👏 Big cheers to our champions and to every participant who stepped up with courage and heart. Thank you to our judges, staff, and families for the support!
