Where Every Panther Is Prepared to Pursue a Positive Purpose! #EveryPantherPrepared
Phones Away, Minds On!
We’ve noticed more personal electronic devices on campus lately, so here’s a friendly reminder: no personal devices may be used during the school day, from arrival until the final bell.
That includes:
Smartphones
Smartwatches
Headphones
Tablets & laptops
Smart glasses
Families, we need your help! Please talk with your scholar about these rules and avoid texting or calling them during school hours. Need to reach your student? Call our front office at (770) 651-6200.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our campus focused and distraction-free!
Enjoy the rest of your week, and as always, Be Excellent on Purpose!

Let's Get Ready for EOCs
End-of-Course (EOC) exams are quickly approaching, and we are fully committed to helping every single one of our scholars succeed! Because EOCs count for 20% of your student’s final course grade, after-school tutorials are a fantastic opportunity for them to build confidence and master key standards.
Please encourage your scholar to join us after school - we truly believe every student has what it takes to perform at a proficient or distinguished level. Let's pack the rooms for tutorials and finish this semester strong together!
