We believe that our experience in educating military-connected students is a great strength.
Experience matters. The CCS serves the third largest concentration of military-connected
students in the world (11,147). We know that issues faced by military children are unique. The
CCS has services, programs, and people who understand the issues and work hard to find
solutions. We speak their language.
We know that CCS does a better job at offering the total experience through our Governed
Choice programs, our extracurricular opportunities, and our flexibility in working with
military students than any other school or district in this region.
From the arts to veterinary medicine, from athletics to Quiz Bowl, from technology to classical
studies, from International Baccalaureate to fire safety-unlimited opportunities exist for students
in the CCS. Whatever your living preference-rural, urban, suburban, we offer strong research
based programs. No other school district in the region offers the complete program in the arts
that is offered in CCS. An expansive program covering all mediums and venues-performing arts,
instrumental music including orchestra, dance from ballet to jazz, pottery, visual arts, and vocal
performance. CCS was the recipient of the Kennedy Center for Arts Education Network and
National School Boards Association 1999 Award for Excellence.
We believe that our diversity is one of our strengths.
Reaching 54,000 students from 42 different countries, speaking more than 80 native languages,
CCS understands globalization. Our task is to prepare students for the world in which they live.
The blending of cultures, the personal experiences of having lived around the world by many
students, and the cutting edge approach to teaching and learning are all part of a day in the life of
a student in the CCS.
We have expanded programs that support the unique challenges faced by military connected
students.
CCS is a member of the Military Child Education Coalition. Our superintendent has served as a
member of that organization since its inception and presently serves as the vice chair of the
board. CCS was awarded the first Pete Taylor Award for outstanding partnership between
Ft.Bragg and CCS. Through this association we offer programs designed to support the needs of
military children. Student 2 Student is on the campus of four high schools. CCS has an active
Military Child Task Force which developed a Local Action Plan addressing the needs of military
families. A School Liaison Officer is seated at every Board of Education committee meeting
and monthly meeting of the full Board. Every high school in CCS offers the Interactive
Counseling Center with approximately 60 counselors across the district who are considered
mobility specialists.

compete at the 4A level for interscholastic competition. It is tradition that our schools
excel and compete at the state championship level in a variety of sports. This district is
regarded by many as the strongest level of competition in the state, especially in football.
