Cherokee County not only has some of the best schools in the state, but we also are fortunate enough to have some awesome alumni that tirelessly give back to their community. Every year we take a moment to acknowledge some that go above and beyond, and this year two stood out. We are so excited to congratulate Misti Martin and Judge Tony Baker as the 2022 Cherokee County Alumni of the Year.
She has been behind many initiatives to improve Cherokee County, such as Cherokee's Be Pro Be Proud initiative, Signing Day for high school graduates immediately entering the workforce, the Cherokee Film Summit, and Cherokee by Choice.
Judge Baker graduated Cherokee High School in 1985, graduated from University of Georgia in 1989, and obtained his law degree from Mercer University. He carried on practicing law with his father in Canton. From there he served as a trial lawyer and Municipal Court judge for Canton, Holly Springs, and Woodstock.
In 2007, Judge Baker was appointed as Cherokee County Juvenile Court judge and was re-appointed two times by Superior Court judges.By accepting you will be accessing a service provided by a third-party external to https://www.cherokeecountyeducationalfoundation.org/
