Cedar Bluff School was recognized for being selected as an Alabama Bicentennial School of Excellence during Tuesday’s meeting of the Cherokee County Board of Education. The announcement was made by Governor Kay Ivey last Tuesday at the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH), where Governor Ivey was joined by superintendents, principals, and teachers from the selected schools, along with legislators and other dignitaries from across the state. Each school also received a $5,000 Governor’s Award grant to support its continued commitment to student-led community engagement.
