WELCOME TO CHEATHAM COUNTY!
"A Great Place to Raise a Family"
Cheatham County's slogan says it all. It speaks of its well-maintained neighborhoods, low crime rate, strong law enforcement, ambulance service, fire protection, affordable housing and its commitment to an excellent educational system. Located in the green rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, Cheatham County is surrounded by the Cumberland and Harpeth rivers. The luxuries of metropolitan life are just minutes away, with downtown Nashville being just southeast of the county. Education is top priority in Cheatham County. Dedication to the school system is evident everywhere, from teachers to parents to members of the community. This, combined with the small-town feel and close-knit community, truly makes Cheatham County a great place to educate a child!

ReadTennessee.org is Now Online:
ReadTennessee.org Now Online-- The Tennessee Department of Education Division of School Readiness and Early Learning is proud to announce the release of a new website to promote early literacy in grades Prek-3. It is full of resources for teachers, parents, and community members. It is designed to inform and support teachers and parents as we transition to the common core state standards. I have attached the press release about the website. The website may be accessed at: www.ReadTennessee.org. We are asking each LEA to make this resource readily available to all PreK-3 grade teachers by providing a link to www.ReadTennessee.org on your district/schools website. The second phase of the website will focus on the teaching of math/math literacy. We hope to go live with the second phase in September.
