Staff Professional Development Just as we hold our students to high standards, CCS-America also holds our teachers and staff to high standards of excellence. On July 9th, RBA and CCS-America prepared to welcome students back with Staff Orientation and Professional Development Day! Along with participating in multiple breakout sessions discussing a variety to topics, staff had the opportunity to hear from Mr. Zach Palmer, history teacher at Thales Academy. He discussed the importance of classical education and the vital role educators play in helping students grow in virtue. We also welcomed CCS-Whiteville alumna and former valedictorian Ms. Savannah-Grace Jones, who shared how her RBA education shaped and inspired her journey from CCS-Whiteville, to high school and college, to ICU nurse in Little River, SC. Thank you to Mr. Palmer, Ms. Jones, and all our dedicated staff for their commitment and contributions to today’s professional development. We are ready and excited for the new school year to begin! *************
CCS-America Board Names New Chair The Board of Trustees has announced a leadership change following the decision by longtime Chair Robert Spencer to step down after eleven years of service. Colleen Combs, a nine-year trustee, has been elected as the new Chair of the Board. Mr. Spencer, who has served on the all-volunteer Board for thirteen years, will remain on the Board as Vice-Chair. “We are all grateful to Mr. Spencer for his steady leadership over the past decade,” said Ms. Combs, who brings extensive experience from her former role as a Supervisory Program Analyst with the National Labor Relations Board. “Under his guidance, we expanded our network of schools and enrollment while remaining faithful to our original classically oriented mission. Recent national achievement test results, which place our schools at the top among classical institutions, reflect the strength of the educational model he helped to build.” Mr. Spencer reflected on his years with CCS-America, saying, “I joined this board because I believe parents deserve an educational option with a classical emphasis on reading, writing, history, and math. It’s been an honor to help grow a network of high-quality schools that offer that choice to families across ten counties in southeastern North Carolina. As Ms. Combs takes the reins, I look forward to continuing to support both her and our schools.” The entire CCS-America community thanks Mr. Spencer for his years of leadership and welcomes Ms. Combs as she begins this new chapter. *************
