WOW...JUST WOW: After competing in the Super Bowl of Sound at Central Carroll High School in Carrollton, Georgia, the Cass High School Marching Band was named Class AAA Champions, Gold Division Champions, and Overall Grand Champions - with the highest overall score of the day! This is the first ever Grand Championship for the Cass Marching Band in a Georgia Music Educators Association sanctioned event!
After taking a year off from competitive marching band due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 100 Cass High School students returned to the field this year to perform their production “INVASION.” The Cass Marching Band competed in this contest with 20 other bands from all across the metro Atlanta area, the state of Georgia, and the Southeast. The Band came away with the highest score in visual performance, the highest score in percussion, the highest score in color guard, and the highest score in general effect.
Join us in congratulating this amazing band program under the leadership of Mr. Sam Iddings!

REALITY CHECK: Starting next week, our high school students will be making a stop at the REALITY STORE!
The Reality Store is a financial simulation that allows students to learn more about career planning, money management and budgeting, and decision making. Students go through the process of choosing a career, receiving a “paycheck,” and learning to budget their pay to meet monthly expenses, along with unexpected expenses.
Reality Store is being held November 12, 15, & 16!
We still need volunteers, though! If you're interested, click here!https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezSOO5DYo06hZAw2pYg4LF_M3cuZjS8jOpozHugGoJGHgz1w/viewform
