Contentnea-Savannah is a great school. My son is now in First grade and we have been so blessed with an excellent teacher, Ms. Jean Hill. She is a retired teacher and is currently substituting for Ms. Sutton. Ms. Hill is motivational and very in depth at teaching the children. My son also had a great Kindergarten at CSS thanks to Ms. Taylor and Ms. Moore. I greatly appreciate the time spent with my child and keeping order in the classroom so all can learn.
