INTERNATIONAL SKILLS DIPLOMA SEAL
World Language News International Skills Diploma Seal Dear Milton Senior Students and Parents/Guardians, It is our pleasure to inform you that our school has just been approved to award the International Skills Diploma Seal to qualifying seniors.
Why this Diploma Seal? According to the Georgia Department of Education, who is awarding the ISDS, they believe that in today's global marketplace, it is important for students to acquire the interdisciplinary skills they need to be globally competent and competitive. The International Skills Diploma Seal is awarded to graduating high school students who complete an international education curriculum and engage in extracurricular activities and experiences that foster the achievement of global competencies. It is a signal to employers and higher education institutions that a student is prepared to participate in the global economy.
If you are a senior who is interested in pursuing this Diploma Seal, please complete the intent form (
your World Language teacher has them) and submit it to either
Dr. Glymph (1360) or your
World Language teacher by February 18 . All coursework credits will be verified by the counselors. Once records are verified, students will be notified and invited to attend the informational meeting about the Capstone Presentation, February 25, 2019. The Capstone Presentation is a student reflection on his/her cross-cultural experiences, learned international skills, and competencies.
Students will have a choice for the presentation format (video, presentation, performance, journal reading). The Capstone Presentation will take place on March 18, 2019 in front of the International Skills Diploma Seal Committee. Students who are absent or sick will have one more chance to present their Capstone Presentation on March 27, 2019.
A list of the final International Skills Diploma Seal Candidates will be submitted to the GA DOE in April of 2019. Students receiving the ISDS will be recognized at the Award Assembly Tuesday April 16, 2019 and will receive the Seal during Milton High School Graduation Ceremony in May.

FINE & PERFORMING ARTS
BAND
Congratulations to MHS Band Students Kristen Van and Ethan Shen for being named as finalists in this year's Atlanta Wind Symphony Youth Concerto Competition!
ATHLETICS
SWIMMING
Over the weekend the Eagles competed in the GHSA 7A State Championships at Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. We had 14 athletes qualify for the state team, and 10 make it to the state finals!
GIRLS RESULTS
The girls came out ready to race, with freshman Melissa Luetgers leading the team making it onto the podium twice! She placed 3rd in both the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle. She also broke a long standing school record previously held by Katie Grover, with a time of 23.86. Go Melissa! Nicole Lin and Sydney Scalise also placed in the top 20 in their individual events. Nicole Lin, Hannah Reding, Sydney Scalise, and Melissa Luetgers placed 11th in the 200 freestyle and 10th in the 400 freestyle relay to help them finish 13th in the state!
BOYS REULTS
The boys fought hard for their senior teammate Michael Critchfield who could not swim due to getting the flu on the day of competition. Michael has been a dedicated captain and competed in state championship every year during his time at Milton. The team's care for him is evident and pushed them to finish 15th in the state! Wilson Dubois led them in points placing 5th in both his 200 and 500 freestyle. Cooper Cook and Connor Kazmi also scored points in their individual races. The boys 200 freestyle relay (Wilson Dubois, Patrick Carr, Tyler Berenguer, and Cooper Cook) and 400 freestyle relay (Wilson Dubois, Patrick Carr, Connor Kazmi, and Cooper Cook) both placed in the top 20 and the boys went their fastest times of the season! The Eagles had an amazing season, and we are already counting down the days until next year! Go Milton!
WRESTLING
Wrestling qualified SIX wrestlers for GHSA 7A State Tournament.
This is the most since 2013 and doubled the number from last year!
Sophomore Ben Williams was Sectional Champion for the SECOND year in a row. Senior Reid Golloher finished as Runner Up. Also placing were Senior Hayes Bicknell 5th, Juniors Bryce Samules and Josh Golloher 7th, and Sophomore Stephen Solley 7th. The wrestlers compete in Macon Wednesday through Saturday.
DANCE TEAM
On Saturday, the Dance Team competed in the UDA Peachtree Dance Championship. This was our most challenging competition of the season where the best teams in and around Georgia come to compete for the Universal Dance Association's state title. The Dance Team took home 6th place in Hip Hop and 7th place in Small Pom; a major accomplishment for our first UDA competition!
