Thank you for taking the time to visit our webpage. As the principal of Crabapple Crossing, I have the privilege of serving a community of learners with a long-standing history in Milton, Georgia, and Fulton County Schools. Crabapple Crossing is a strong neighborhood school, with a staff committed to meeting the individual needs of every child.
As your principal, I promise to keep students at the forefront of every decision we make as a school. I believe deeply that the school and home must work hand in hand to help the students grow to their fullest potential. I love working with children and families to access the most out of the learning process. As educators, we have the incredible responsibility and opportunity of not just teaching our children but also to make a positive impact in their lives.
I believe in teaching the whole child. This means it is our responsibility to teach and to meet the needs of every child instructionally, socially, and emotionally. I welcome opportunities for you to learn more about our school. To schedule a visit, please contact me at cheatham@fultonschools.org
I take great pride in being a CCES Colt!
