🇩🇪 Spencer Cooke, a social studies teacher at Cheatham County Central High School, traveled to Germany this summer on a Transatlantic Outreach Program (TOP) study tour. 🇩🇪

In total, 42 educators from across the United States and Canada traveled to Germany, visiting schools, government offices, businesses, non-profits, subject matter experts, museums, historical sites, cultural venues, and much more during their 10-day trip. ✈

This unique learning experience equips educators with new knowledge, strategies, and resources to enrich their classroom instruction with global perspectives and spark students’ interest in the world around them.🌍

TOP is a public-private partnership between the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Goethe-Institut, and Deutsche Bank. TOP has funded, organized, and implemented study tours to Germany for North American social studies and STEM educators, as well as workforce development leaders, since 2002.

Cheatham County School Board Meeting, 9/3/26

🏗 🛠Today, the Cheatham County School District celebrated an exciting milestone with the groundbreaking of our new Maintenance and Technology building! 🚧💻

This facility will provide a centralized home for our maintenance and technology teams, creating dedicated space for equipment, technology resources, vehicle maintenance, and operational support.

By bringing these essential services together under one roof, the building will help us operate more efficiently while ensuring our schools remain safe, well-maintained, and ready for learning each day.🎒🏫

It is being built behind our transportation facility on Sweethome Road in Ashland City. GMC Architects and Boger Construction are overseeing and building the facility.

This project is a reflection of our "Building the Dream" theme for the year. While our students and teachers build dreams in the classroom, we are building the facilities, infrastructure, and support systems that help make those dreams possible. 💭

Among those in attendance were School Board and County Commission members, GMC Architects and Boger Construction representatives and members of our maintenance and technology staffs.🎉🙌
