We are honored to welcome John Martin, a retired Knox County Schools teacher, track coach, and proud alum of CEHHS, as he shares insights from his book, Perseverance: Growing Up Cherokee.

In this engaging session, John will recount his experiences growing up Cherokee in East Tennessee, offering a unique perspective on resilience, culture, and identity. His stories promise to inspire and educate, highlighting the rich heritage and enduring spirit of the Cherokee people.
