From poodle skirts to plaid flannels, our 5th graders traveled through time during the Annual Decades Day! 🕺🎶📼 Students explored each decade from the 1920s–1990s through food, games, music, technology, fashion, and hands-on activities. What a fun way to bring history to life!
CTE Parents and Guardians: Tomorrow, May 29th, 2026, is a half-day and the last day of the school year! Dismissal will begin at 10:25 a.m. We hope everyone has a safe and restful summer break!

We can't wait for field day!
Parents/Guardians,
Serving as principal of Cherokee Trail Elementary School has been a true honor and privilege. For the 2026–2027 school year, I will be moving into a new role as Director of the Abbeville County Career Center. While I am excited for this next chapter, I will always treasure the relationships and memories built with our students, families, and staff during my time at CTE.
I am pleased to share that Mrs. Ongela Nance will serve as principal for the 2026–2027 school year. I am confident she will continue leading Cherokee Trail Elementary with the same dedication, care, and commitment to excellence that our school community deserves.
