Developing a new generation of civic leaders.
Through GenerationNation, students learn first-hand how their governments and communities work; understand important civic issues and differing points of view; know how to find and use good sources of news and information; build social capital and experience for civic problem-solving and leadership; and, join a diverse network of civic leaders who are working to transform their schools, neighborhoods, communities and world for the better…now and for the future.

These @CharMeckSchools teachers, on top of everything else they do, designed + sold #VirtuallyUnstoppable shirts to raise $8k in the @CMS_Foundation $3.2 million drive for student internet hotspots/service. Thanks @Panthers + @AtriumHealth for honoring these frontline heroes! https://twitter.com/panthers/status/1330509661477408769
These CMS teachers sold shirts to supply hotspots for students who weren’t able to attend their online classes due to Wi-Fi resources.
They raised nearly $8,000 for the CMS Foundation.

Hearing from MANY @CharMeckSchools students and families in #FullRemoteAcademy concerned about having to come in for in-person End-Of-Course testing. We’ve been advocating to @BetsyDeVosED, Congress, @ncpublicschools, @edstateboard_nc for a waiver since June. Asked again today. https://twitter.com/CMSboard/status/1329866896632590342
This afternoon, the Board sent the letter below to Secretary DeVos; Sens. Burr & Tillis; and Reps. Adams, Bishop, and Foxx.
This letter serves an official request from CMS asking for a waiver from federal and state mandated testing for the 2020-2021 academic year.
