“Cherokee's wide variety of extracurriculars alongside intense academic classes have acted as a beacon for opportunity. The Cherokee Staff and Administration have supported me in so many ways, which has ultimately provided me the confidence to get involved in the Cherokee community. The opportunities Cherokee has given me athletically, academically, and socially have allowed me to become a well-rounded student.”
