CCSD's VILLA Parent Academy Graduates 2024-25 Class

The VILLA Class of 2024-25 is congratulated at its graduation by the Cherokee County School Board and Superintendent of Schools Mary Elizabeth Davis. 

The Cherokee County School District’s sixth annual VILLA Program parent academy, which encourages and celebrates parent engagement, graduated a new class at this week’s School Board meeting.

VILLA (Volunteer Instructional Leadership Learning Academy) is a free seven-week program that offers participants the opportunity to learn more about the public schools in their community.  

Topics including school operations, classroom instruction, governance, funding and accountability are covered in classes featuring presentations by CCSD staff and question-and-answer sessions with the School Board and Superintendent of Schools.  Participants also take a field trip to visit schools, complete with a school bus ride and school lunch.  Classes are held in the fall and culminate with graduation at the school board’s November meeting.  Costs associated with the program are funded through the generous sponsorship of Credit Union of Georgia, a CCSD Partner.  

Information about the 2025-26 program will be posted next school year on the CCSD website and social media and included in the CCSD Connections monthly parent newsletter.
