STORY 1: Reinhardt’s Price School of Education Expands Program Offerings
This fall, Reinhardt University’s Price School of Education is launching two new programs: a Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Certification in Pedagogy-Only and a Master’s in the Art of Teaching (MAT) Pedagogy degree. The Post-Baccalaureate program is for those with non-education degrees, allowing them to earn a teaching certification online while working. The MAT Pedagogy degree is aimed at certified teachers with unrelated degrees, providing additional credentials and potential salary increases. Both programs are online and address regional and statewide needs for qualified educators. Tami Smith, director of teacher education, highlights the importance of these programs in helping individuals pursue teaching careers and enhance their professional development.
STORY 2: Sequoyah’s Tousignaut Headed to KSU
Sequoyah basketball star Brendan Tousignaut committed to Kennesaw State on July 22, following in the footsteps of former Etowah guard Chase Clemmons, who joined the Owls last year. Tousignaut, a 6-foot-6 rising senior, averaged 19 points, nine rebounds, and two steals per game, leading Sequoyah to the Class 6-A playoffs and earning a spot on the All-Cherokee County first team. His commitment comes as Kennesaw State’s basketball program, which recently made the NCAA Tournament, aims to build on its success. Tousignaut's addition is expected to bolster the Owls’ roster as they strive to improve from a recent 15-16 season.
STORY 3: Cherokee Sheriff’s Office: Fire Truck Hit in Multi-Vehicle Crash
On Thursday morning, a Cherokee County fire truck responding to a crash on Interstate 575 in Canton was struck by two cars, resulting in minor injuries to two individuals. The incident occurred around 8:07 a.m., and all northbound lanes were closed for about an hour starting at 8:15 a.m. due to the accident. Rainy weather is suspected to have contributed to the multi-car crash. The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the incident.

STORY 6: Local Attorney Tapped for Cherokee County Juvenile Court Judge Post
Amanda G. Speights has been appointed to serve as a judge for the Juvenile Court of Cherokee County, beginning January 1, 2025. The appointment, made by the Cherokee County Superior Court judges, fills the vacancy left by Judge Jennifer Davis’s promotion to Superior Court. Speights, a Cherokee County native and partner at Speights Law, has extensive experience in family and juvenile law, and has served as a defense attorney for the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court. She is also an active community volunteer and board member. Speights, a Kennesaw State University and John Marshall Law School graduate, expressed her dedication to upholding justice and fairness for children and families in her new role.
STORY 7: $13M in State Funding Going to Cherokee Transportation Projects
Cherokee County has secured over $13 million in state funding for transportation upgrades, including the Ball Ground Bypass, Highway 140 widening, and improvements to the Cherokee County Regional Airport. This funding is part of a $1.5 billion state investment announced by the Georgia Department of Transportation, funded by surplus approved by Governor Brian Kemp and state lawmakers. The allocation includes $7.5 million for Highway 140 improvements, $4.4 million for the Ball Ground Bypass, and $1.2 million for the airport. This investment is aimed at enhancing local infrastructure to support regional growth and development.
