This morning, upon arrival at school, we discovered we had no internet or phone service. Thankfully, due to the quick work of Mr. Josh Burgos and Mr. Josh Pray from our Tech Crew, and Ted Nugent, they and their team were able to quickly diagnose the problem and correct the issue. State testing was able to be conducted with no major issues due to our faculty, staff, and administration.
We also congratulate our Green County Educators of the Year, who were honored this morning: Elisah Lackiel and Lisa McNeil!!!
Our two students who were honored as Greene County Students of the Year: Armand Caringi and Jade Anderson!!
It is an honor to work with your school District.

Last Wednesday, March 11, Shay Legacy brought a CDL truck simulator to campus for our 11th and 12th grade students. They had the chance to get behind the wheel in a safe, virtual setting and explore what a career in the trucking industry could look like.
Safe to say, we may have a few future drivers on the road ahead 👀

Last week we held our annual Readiness Day, and it was a great day for our students!
More than 20 local businesses visited the school to meet with students, share advice, and talk about future career paths. Students had the chance to ask questions, shake hands, and start building real connections with professionals from our community.
Events like Readiness Day are just one of the many ways we work to make sure every Coxsackie-Athens student leaves our schools feeling confident and prepared for what comes next.
A big thank you to Ms. Hopkins for organizing this event and giving our students such a valuable opportunity to explore their future!
