STAR Student Last Changed
2010-02-25
   

 STAR Student

Each year, every high school in Georgia chooses a STAR student - the senior with the highest SAT scores from one sitting in the entire class. This student must also be in the top 10% of their graduating class. The STAR student has the opportunity to name their STAR Teacher - that teacher who has had the most impact on their educational experience. This year, Dacula High School has a tie, so we are fortunate to have 2 STAR Students and 2 STAR Teachers. They and their families will be treated to a wonderful luncheon in their honor on February 18, at the 1818 Club which is at the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. We are very proud of these students. Please help us congratulate:

 

 

 STAR Student Stephen Coy, son of Mr. & Mrs. Dean Coy, and his STAR Teacher, Ms. Maureen Sneed

STAR Student Kylie Stackis, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Stackis, and her STAR Teacher, Ms. Lesley Buchanan

New Snow Make-up Days Last Changed
2010-02-26
   

GCPS adds two new make-up snow days to the school calendar: February 15 and April 2

Gwinnett schools were not in session on Monday, September 21 and 22 due to the floods that recently struck the Atlanta area. These "flood days" will be made up using the first two designated make-up days: February 12 and March 15. Students and staff will now be in session on these days.

As winter has not even begun and there is the chance that inclement weather may force additional school closings, Gwinnett County Public Schools is amending its 2009-10 school calendar to include two more snow make-up days. These days will be: Monday, Feb. 15 and Friday, April 2. These days were originally scheduled for student/staff holidays but are now the new snow make-up days.

SADD Information Last Changed
2010-02-26
   

 SADD's mission:
To provide students with the best prevention tools possible to deal with the issues of underage drinking, other drug use, impaired driving and other destructive decisions.

SADD is a peer-to-peer education, prevention, and activism organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen suicide.

SADD is an inclusive, not an exclusive, organization. SADD recognizes that the pressures on young people to drink, use illicit drugs and engage in other unhealthy behaviors are strong. SADD seeks not to punish or alienate those students who make unfortuante choices but rather aims to inform educate, support and empower young people to make positive decisions in their lives.

If you are interested in being a part of SADD's new Dacula Chapter please stop by the Counseling office and pick up a registration form and return it before May 8th to Ms. Jaffe.
