Good afternoon, Spartan Families,
We want to wish a Happy New Year to all of our families. We hope and pray you enjoyed the holidays with your families and friends.
The staff returns on Wednesday, January 3, and our students return on Thursday, January 4. The Advisement Bell Schedule is below.
Students who earn between a 60-69 in content classes will have an opportunity to retake the class in Edmentum via Course Extension. Students who earn below a 60 will have to retake the entire class in a Credit Recovery course. The counselors will assist with scheduling students. There is a flyer with more detail below. All Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to check the information in the Campbell News below for the Junior/Senior Prom. Parents are reminded that students should not be dropped off before 7:30 AM unless it has been requested by a teacher or coach and they will remain with that adult. Students are also expected to leave the building no later than 4 PM unless they are under the supervision of a teacher or coach.
Best regards, Dr. Watkins

We want to congratulate two of our Orchestra students, Marlee Carter and Yusef Henry, who got the opportunity to perform in a live recording of the Monica Pearson Holiday Special with AMP! This is a huge honor for young musicians. They auditioned and received scholarships to get extra training through their program. There are many other Cobb County students that have received scholarships and are training and getting the opportunity to do industry work. Yusef Henry was also accepted into the Governor's Honors Program this year.
