Commerce City Schools

Students in Coach Lund's Georgia Studies classes are diving into the Legislative Branch this week with a Mock Legislative Session! The class is split into the House of Representatives and the Senate, each led by a Speaker and Lt. Governor. They’re following the real process used by the state to create laws— including the power to override a "Governor" veto with a 2/3 vote! It’s a fun, hands-on way to learn about how laws are made in Georgia!

Our CES team toured the new Cottrell Elementary for inspiration as we design our new school. We saw how great design supports student success and look forward to bringing these ideas back to our community.

We’re excited to welcome the GHP Cinema Drive to CHS today! Sophomores and juniors will have the opportunity to engage in realistic driving simulations designed to promote safe driving habits. This hands-on experience is a valuable tool to help our students stay safe on the road.

Cameron Shirley and Lauren Milford enjoyed collaborating and networking at the Jackson County Chamber Women in Business event. This event provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with local businesses and organizations, fostering relationships that support our Work-Based Learning program and create valuable opportunities for our students.

Shoutout to our amazing School Food & Nutrition team for adding some fun and excitement to the menu for National Poultry Day! Our students and staff loved celebrating with delicious chicken wings — thank you for all you do to keep our kids happy and well-fed!

Congratulations to Tucker Watson and Colt Butler, the CES March Madness Champion Dribblers!

We are grateful to voters like Mr. Steve Anderson, who never had the opportunity to attend an integrated Commerce Elementary School, but whose children and grandchildren have. A proud graduate of Commerce High School Class of 1972 and an alumnus of J.L. Williams Elementary School, Mr. Anderson recently joined his daughter Rashada—a dedicated third grade teacher at Commerce Elementary—in voting to support the funding of our new Commerce Elementary School. His legacy will continue to impact generations to come, and we are thankful for his commitment to our community.

As we are building for the future of Commerce City Schools, I want to thank our voters for supporting the ELOST continuation and for the bond that will fund the new Commerce Elementary School. The vote tonight means that we start construction on time for the children of Commerce City Schools to have a true PK-5 elementary school opening August of 2027. I can’t thank our community enough for sharing our vision of Expecting Excellence in Everything we do and approving these very important initiatives. Go Tigers! Billy Kirk Superintendent, Commerce City Schools
