We reach a tremendous milestone with our internship program this spring. Abbie Church, a senior at Shelby High School has the honor of being our 100th intern! Abbie is completing her internship at Pink Paradise, a wellness and day spa in Shelby. Our CTE Internship program began 3 years ago and continues to grow each year! Congratulations Abbie. We're proud to have you be our 100th intern!

We are proud to celebrate Mary Ingram, a dedicated educator at Grover Elementary School, for receiving the esteemed Jolene Litton ABCD Technology Award. This prestigious honor recognizes educators who demonstrate outstanding innovation and excellence in integrating technology into the classroom.

We recently had the honor of celebrating academic excellence and the educators who make a profound impact on their students' lives at the Annual Hoyt & Anne Dover Bailey Teaching Excellence Awards. The event was a heartfelt tribute to the top thirteen academic seniors, who took the opportunity to express their gratitude to the teachers and educators who have help shape their journeys. The evening was filled with inspiring stories, emotional moments, and a shared sense of appreciation that left a lasting impression on everyone present.

We are excited to highlight the exceptional work of Dr. Lily Gates, a highly dedicated and passionate educator at Cleveland Innovation Virtual Academy. Dr. Gates consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to her students, going above and beyond to ensure they succeed and thrive in their learning journey. Her innovative teaching methods and support for her students have made a significant and lasting impact on the school community. Dr. Gates truly stands out as an invaluable member of the CIVA team, inspiring both her students and colleagues alike with her dedication and enthusiasm.

Big congratulations to North Shelby School! The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), along with Character.org, has officially recognized North Shelby School as a State School of Character. Only two schools in North Carolina were chosen for this achievement! This honor highlights their dedication to building strong values and a positive school environment. We are so proud of them!
