Greetings

The Academy is buzzing with excitement as we prepare to enter a highly active Spring season of

recruitment expositions and competitions As we gear up to engage more prospective

community and industry partners I would be remiss if I did not pause to thank a couple of people

who are always found promoting assisting and sponsoring Academy students and initiatives

Mr Davis provides the leadership for attracting global investors to the South Fulton region for the

purpose of enhancing the quality of life for each of the distinguished cities that make up South

Fulton For the past two years Mr Davis has brought sponsors prospective business leaders and

city representatives to draw attention and raise awareness of the unique student work happening

in the College and Career Academy We want to personally and openly express appreciation for

all of his patronage and sponsorship Our students have gained lots of experience and exposure

as a result of the referrals he has provided

Barbara Colman-Contractor with Fulton County Capital Improvement

Ms Colman is a contractor working through and with our districts Capital Improvement

Department From the first day she came to the Academy Ms Colman personally committed

to working tirelessly to ensure that all students incapable of paying for entry to state and regional

competitions would be sponsored and she had delivered on that promise every year Students

and parents have expressed gratitude for the gracious finances that have been donated and

collected through Ms Colmans efforts Ms Colman is a testament of the sincere and productive

relationships that have been established with members of our community

United Way of Greater Atlanta

United Way sponsors the Futures Club at the Academy The Futures Club program is a

combination of workshops and individualized assistance for high school seniors aimed to assist

students in navigating the college application process This year over 50 seniors at the Academy

have participated in the Futures Club program The monthly sessions have been led by Ms Jodian

year seniors have made great strides toward their college pursuits We appreciate United Way of

Greater Atlanta and the investment that they are making in our studentsrsquo futures
