OLD PAINT DRIVE
Do you have paint sitting around that you need to get rid of? Dispose of your paint, help the environment, provide paint to those in need, and support the Milton High School's Social Innovators Academy by donating your old paint! Drop off all of your paint at this "drive-through" donation event Saturday, May 18 from 10AM-2PM in the MILTON HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT. All paint will be donated to Global Paint for Charities. See the attached forms for additional information.
FAQs
How much do I have to pay for every can/container paint I bring?
Every can/container of paint, regardless of size, costs $1 in ONLY CASH. This fee goes directly to Global Paint for Charity to pay for the processing of your paint as well as the redistribution. We will also be accepting cash donations all of which go directly to Global Paint for Charity.
Why donate my paint to Global Paint for Charity?
Global Paint for Charity, unlike many organizations that collect paint, actually processes and redistributes collected paint rather than simply disposing of it. The paint you donate will be mixed together, cleaned, and repackaged to be shipped internationally to poor communities. The paint will help those communities lessen the spread of disease and increase cleanliness as painted surfaces kill and protect against harmful bacteria. Donating your paint to Global Paint for Charity will also benefit the environment by preventing improper disposal of paint and the dangerous chemicals it contains.
What type of paint do you accept?
We CANNOT accept any oil based paints. Please bring only latex paints. Additionally, we CANNOT accept any dried paint, spackle, or any paint contained in rusty cans. Please make sure that the can is at least 25% full.
Where, exactly, is the drive located within Milton High?
The drive will be held in the carpool lane outside Milton High School.
When I arrive, how will the drive actually work?
The drive has been designed to be as efficient and convenient as possible, so the event will be operated as a drive-thru. All you have to do is pull into the Milton High School carpool lane and stay in your car as we handle the paint collection, inspection, and payment. After you we have gathered all of your paint from your vehicle and you have paid, you are all set to go!
What happens if I bring paint that does not adhere to the regulations?
We ask that you do your best to ensure that your paint does meet regulations prior to arriving at the drive. In the case that your paint does not meet regulation, we will still take said paint; however, this paint cannot be taken by Global Paint for Charity and will therefore simply be disposed of rather than benefiting the environment and third-world communities.
Is my payment tax deductible?
Your payment as well as any donations are tax deductible. Upon giving your paint and cash, you will have the option to be provided with an official tax receipt from Global Paint for Charity.

TRACK & FIELD
The Milton track & field teams completed their season with a great showing at the GHSA 7A State Championships this past weekend at Berry College in Rome, GA as two school records were broken in the process.
BOYS
As a team the Eagles (13th-17pts) bested 23 scoring programs and were tied with fellow-region team Forsyth Central as the top-finishing team from their region at the state meet. Senior Matt Mazzacano concluded his track career at Milton with a school record in the pole vault (2nd-15'6") to finish runner-up and lead the Eagle effort. Junior Demarrie Taylor showed he will be a major contender next season as he broke his 100m (10.61) school record in the semi-final on Thursday and then came back for the final on Saturday (3rd-10.73) to finish 3rd! Taylor also anchored the 4x100m relay team (6th-42.71) that ran the school's 2nd best time ever also in the semi-final. Joining Taylor on the podium for the 4x100m relay were seniors Will Bratcher & Uriah Mellem and sophomore Wil Marinich. Taylor also competed in the long jump (14th-19'11") but failed to advance to the final. Also competing at the state meet was junior Spencer Watry in the 800m (9th-2:02.54).
GIRLS
The Lady Eagles only sent three girls to the state meet but were able to beat back 10 schools. Milton (21st-7pts) was only 5th at the region meet but finished 2nd at the state meet among the region teams competing. Senior co-captain Taylor Cushman led the Lady Eagles with two medal-wining performances. Cushman also ran to two personal bests in the 3200m (8th-11:17.53) & 1600m (7th-5:09.19) that were also the 5th best times in school history in both events! Junior Nyah Hernandez also competed in 2 events and her 3200m (7th-11:17.36) got her on the podium and also is now the 4th best time eve run in school history! Hernandez came back but just missed on a medal in the 1600m (9th-5:14.69). The final scorer for Milton was junior Taylor McQuilken. Her effort in the pole vault (6th-10'6") was a 6-inch personal best but also is now the 2nd best ever in school history!
