The Kenwood High School Knight’s Raider Team competed in the Challenge Division at the 2024 JROTC National Raider Championships in Fort Knox, KY. After an intense competition against teams across the nation, the Knight’s Raider Team placed third overall in the nation. Congratulations, cadets!

Kirkwood High School won the 2024 TSBA New School Construction School of the Year Award. This prestigious award recognizes Lyle Cook Martin Architects and Rufus Johnson Associates for their collaboration and excellence in design. We are grateful to have these two talented and dedicated partners to design exceptional schools that our entire community can be proud of. As a reminder, Lyle Cook Martin won this award last year for Kirkwood Middle School, and this is the first time ever that CMCSS schools won these awards back-to-back. Congratulations, and thank you both!

Final 4 at the TSSAA State Basketball National Championships – Rossview High School

The Rossview High School team made school history by earning a spot in the Final 4 at the TSSAA State Basketball Championship. A moment of reflection was made to honor Cam Ward. Cam had a big list of accomplishments while playing basketball for Rossview High. He scored over 1,000 career points, helped lead the Hawks to the state tournament, and was named to the all-district and all-region team this past season. While he will be remembered for his accomplishments on the court, Cam will be remembered for the light he brought to so many lives as a loving son, brother, teammate, and friend.

As Coach Johnny Jackson and Dr. Sanders, Rossview Principal, shared their sentiments.

“Cam was full of light and joy and was such a positive presence in our classrooms, on the court and in our school community. He was and is an absolutely amazing young man who has a special place in so many hearts. He will be truly missed but will always be remembered – especially in the echoes of basketball games in our gymnasium and in the laughter of our hallways.”

“He taught me so much more than I ever taught him. I would switch places with him in a heartbeat. He lived life the way it was supposed to be lived. He was carefree, energetic and just smiled and spoke to everyone. … If the world had more Cams in it, it would be such a better place.”

The school board and audience took a moment of silence in remembrance of him.

Best Prosecuting Attorney – Tennessee Mock Trial Competition

Ava Heuston, from Clarksville High School, was named the Best Prosecuting Attorney at the state Mock Trial Competition. This is out of 48 students in the highly-competitive category and first time a CMCSS student has ever won this award in nearly 50 years of this academic competition.

Purple Star Schools

The Tennessee Purple Star School Award was designed to highlight military-friendly schools that show a major commitment to serving students and families connected to our nation’s military. In CMCSS, over 25% of our students are military connected. A school must reapply every two years to maintain the recognition status, and awardees receive banners to display in their buildings. The criteria requires schools to have a point of contact who has completed a professional development component specific to the needs of military-connected students. The school website must contain a page that provides resources for military families. And, the school then chooses an additional activity that aligns with the school’s population and goals. When this award first started in Tennessee, CMCSS had 3 of the 6 schools in the state that earned the award. We are proud to share that at this time over 60% of CMCSS’ schools have earned this award, and we will continue striving for 100%. Six schools renewed their application and 11 schools were first-time applicants.
