We are incredibly proud of Jeremy Blalock, Rylee Bryant, Sara Dunn, Ja'Nyri Horace, and Trysten Johnson for passing the NCLEX-PN with a 100% pass rate! 🎉

As the second graduating class from our dual enrollment Practical Nursing program with Southern Regional Technical College, these students earned both their high school diplomas and LPN certifications, giving them a valuable head start on their careers in healthcare.

Through strong partnerships and career-focused pathways, we’re creating opportunities for students to earn credentials, build real-world skills, and confidently take their next steps toward the future.
Congratulations to these outstanding graduates! We can’t wait to see the impact you make. 🩺🎓

We are thrilled to congratulate Jeremy Blalock, Rylee Bryant, Sara Dunn, Ja'Nyri Horace, and Trysten Johnson, the second graduating class of Colquitt County High School students to complete our dual enrollment Practical Nursing program, for passing their NCLEX-PN licensure exam with a 100% pass rate! 🎉

These graduates earned their high school diploma and their LPN certification at the same time, and they're already putting that hard work to use in the field, with some continuing their education toward even bigger goals in nursing. We couldn't be prouder of what they've accomplished, and we can't wait to see where they go from here.

As we begin another school year, we’re proud to celebrate the significant academic gains our students made on the 2025–2026 Georgia Milestones assessments, but even more than the numbers, we’re proud of the students behind them. 👏🎉

Our students showed gains on 12 of 13 assessments, with 11 of 13 subject areas outperforming regional benchmarks and 9 out of 13 surpassing state averages. Some of the strongest growth came in 8th-grade Georgia History, which increased by 19 points, with additional gains across 4th–6th grade math, 8th-grade science and math, and high school algebra and biology.

Every day, we have the privilege of teaching, encouraging, challenging, and helping our students reach their potential. Help us give a huge round of applause to our students and staff for setting the bar so high! 🌟
