Today, Crisp County High School was one of 300 schools from 44 states across the country to receive a $5,000 grant through the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries. This year, the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries awarded $1.5 million in library grants this year.
Many of the libraries will use the funds to update and diversify their collections.
“I am thrilled that children from 300 schools will soon have access to an updated library collection,” Mrs. Laura Bush said. “Students across the country turn to books to discover the world around them, and we know that opening a new book opens the door to new opportunities and learning.”
Crisp County High School will hold an informational meeting for Advanced Placement courses for the 2022-2023 school year at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, May 16, 2022, in the CCHS media center. If you are interested in your student taking AP courses next year, please make plans to attend this meeting. If you are unable to attend, a face-to-face meeting must be scheduled with Ms. Grinnell, Ms. Patterson, or Mrs. Slimp.

Please plan to attend and ask your parents to join you as you prepare for your senior year and your future.
Student Obligation and Textbook Information
When a CCHS student checks a textbook out from the media center, it is due by the end of that same semester. The student is charged the original price of the book if it is not returned. When a book is returned, the charge is removed from the student's account. Students are emailed each month with a report of media center fees or additional charges that are due. The student also receives a paper copy each month from their advisor. Obligations can be viewed in Infinite Campus under “fees”. We ask that students check their emails daily for important information.
With Spring Break around the corner and only 8 weeks remaining in the semester, we encourage students to search lockers, closets, cars, etc. for lost or missing books to clear their accounts. Students, especially seniors, should take care of obligations for books, equipment, uniforms, etc. by May 20th. Please contact Mrs. Wilkerson in the media center for specific questions about charges or how to search for book replacements.
Parents and students:
It has come to our attention that a lot of inappropriate behavior has been happening on social media that can negatively impact our day-to-day operations as well as severely distract students from their educational focus. Please monitor your child’s social media activity to help prevent misbehavior and/or possible bullying. Thank you for your help and if you need further assistance please let us know how we can help.
