ATLANTA (March 5, 2012) –On Friday March 2, Sen. John Albers (R- Roswell) visited with six local high schools, recognizing them on being named to Atlanta Magazine’s top schools list for 2012.
“These schools are superseding the barriers of education and have all the necessary ingredients to make the perfect recipe for a great school,” said Sen. Albers. “I am proud of the motivated students, great teachers, administration, and involved parents and community for their dedication to prepare Georgia’s students for the future.”
North Springs High School, Centennial High School, Chattahoochee High School, Northview High School, Johns Creek High School and Milton High School were each honored with a Senate Resolution in acknowledgement of their continued tradition of academic excellence.
Atlanta Magazine’s top schools are evaluated by nine different indicators which are compiled by the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement. These indicators are based on the 2009-2010 school year and are considered proven measures of success when determining college readiness and a school’s effectiveness in preparing students for their future. This was also the first time the magazine ranked the school’s overall performance.
During his visit with Atlanta’s top schools, Sen. Albers challenged students to thank a teacher who has made a significant impact on their lives and give their parents a hug and tell them they love them. He also encouraged students to visit his website at http://www.senatoralbers.com/ with their best ideas on how to make Georgia the best state.
