Caldwell County Schools

CCS Parent Leadership Connection

All parent leaders, i.e., PTA, PTO, Booster Club, etc., officers are invited to the CCS Parent Leadership Council. Meetings are scheduled throughout the school year and held at the Education Center. Parents meet to discuss educational topics they determine as a top priority: curriculum, safety, organizational management, fundraising ideas, and connectivity to their student's learning environment. For more information, contact your respective parent leadership boards at your school or call Libby Brown, Community Services Director, at 828.728-8407, ext 140142, or email: lbrown@caldwellschools.com.
