Students will receive free parking anywhere on campus and a $5000 scholarship if they obtain a perfect score on the SAT or ACT.  See Dr. Phillips if you qualify.

Comprehensive exams remain in place for Georgia Milestones End of Course assessments (EOC). We will continue to stress the importance of these exams and use the data to plan for instruction. EOC assessments may not be exempt due to state policy.

In order to maintain continuity with our previous procedure that students found as a major incentive and to alleviate the redundancy of excessive testing, the following criteria will allow students to still exempt Final Exams.

This exemption is an acknowledgement of a student’s exemplary academic effort which has led to the student’s college and career readiness. Teachers and Administration make the final decision on exemptions. The classroom teacher will keep records to validate a student’s eligibility for exempting the final exam.

A student will be exempt from a final exam if they meet the following grade and attendance criteria:

                  90-100  (5 absences)

                  80-89   (3 absences)

                  76-79   (1 absence)

                  70-75   (0 absences)

 

The following  exemption deadlines are in effect for Spring Semester 2024:

Graduating Seniors:  May 3rd
All Other Students:  May 9th 

Students who are not eligible by the deadline or who drop below the criteria stated above in the 5 days leading up to the final exam window, will be required to take a Final Exam. Students who become ineligible after the deadline and do not take a Final will be required to make the Exam up or will have a zero entered in as E2.
