Flag football try outs will be at the Thunderdome football field on November 17, 2026. Bring a current physical.

Our CCMS young men on the basketball team had the opportunity to learn how to properly tie a necktie through a collaboration with The Man Project, a nonprofit organization. This hands-on experience focused on more than just tying a tie. It encouraged confidence, professionalism, and essential life skills that will benefit our students beyond the classroom. Thank you to The Man Project for investing in our young men and helping prepare them for future success! #CCMS #TheManProject #YoungMenOfExcellence #LifeSkills #CougarPride

Science in Action at CCMS! Mrs. Hall’s Science Class brought the musculoskeletal system to life with a hands-on chicken wing dissection lab! Students explored muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and joints while discovering how these structures work together to create movement. This engaging experience encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and real-world scientific discovery. Great job, Mrs. Hall, for making science an exciting, hands-on learning experience! #CCMS #CougarPride #HandsOnLearning #ScienceInAction #JefCoEd

From business professional attire to healthcare scrubs, our future leaders represented their career goals while learning the importance of professionalism and making a great first impression. Fun Fact: Did you know Alabama is one of the six original charter states of HOSA? Our state has been part of HOSA’s history since its founding in 1976!
