FCS CALENDAR UPDATE
Fulton County Schools has updated the calendar for the 2019-20 school year.
Fulton County School Board approved making April 21, 2020, and May 19, 2020, "
Digital Learning Days
" for students while maintaining them as regular work days for employees. A Digital Learning Day is an opportunity for students to engage in off-site learning instead of attending school.
Since April 21 and May 19 are state-wide election days, there is high-volume participation of the public at polling stations located in our schools, and this increases the potential for security concerns. By utilizing digital learning activities, students will be able to maintain their focus on instruction even though they are not on campus. This also allows staff the opportunity to participate in high-quality professional development to deepen their knowledge and skills.
Here is a summary of the recent calendar adjustments:
- March 13, 2020 remains a teacher workday.
- March 24, 2020 (GA Presidential primary election) will be a teacher workday.
- April 21, 2020 (state-wide election) will be a student Digital Learning Day and a teacher professional development day.
- May 19, 2020 (state-wide election) will be a student Digital Learning Day and a teacher professional development day.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.

CROSS COUNTRY
Eagles season concludes with strong team finishes
The Milton cross country teams concluded their seasons today with the boy's team just missing out in a top-10 finish as the girls just missed the podium and a trophy with a 5th place team finish.
GIRLS
The Lady Eagles gave everything they had and then some at the GHSA State Class 7A-Championship Meet but couldn't overcome a 36-second spread from their 4th to 5th runners and just missed out on a podium finish.
Milton (5th-160 pts) was off the podium for the first time in close to nine years.
As she has done all season long, senior
Nyah Hernandez (6th-19:34) led Milton and was in the top-3 for most of the contest. Hernandez ends her Milton cross country career with 4 top-10 individual finishes at the state meet, the first of any Milton cross country athlete! Junior
Audrey Nichols (23rd-20:28) ran her best race of the season to improve 28 positions from last year's state meet race. Senior co-captain
Abby Rindt (34th-20:44) was next and helped solidify the Lady Eagles effort. Freshman
Annalise Crow (35th-20:48) was in the top-25 most of the race and even was in the top-20 before holding on to a top-40 finish. Junior
Clare Petkash (68th-21:24) capped-off the most incredible season for this rising talent and along with sophomore
Jessica Albregts (76th-21:36) & first year senior
Ella Langley (82nd-21:41) put all of Milton's finishers in the top-half of the race! The state championship race had 170 finishers and the Lady Eagles have either been 3rd, 4th or 5th at the state meet in 8 of the last 9 years!
BOYS
Milton (12th-298 pts) just missed a top-10 finish while besting 12 schools at the GHSA State Class 7A-Championship Meet held under cool & dry conditions.
Junior
Hayden Marshall (17th-16:51) ran close to a 30-second course best to move up from 38th place at the mile to just miss a top-10 finish. Senior co-captain
Spencer Watry (31st-17:08) followed Marshall's lead and steadily moved up the entire race. Junior
Jack Petkash (70th-17:37) kept the Roswell pack in check and gave the Eagles much needed points running as Milton #3 finisher. Senior co-captain
Joe Pick (85th-17:49) & junior
Connor Brunson (90th-17:51) closed out the Eagle scoring. In a tough battle, sophomore
Dylan Bowden (111th-18:17) couldn't match strides with Mill Creek's 6th runner as Milton lost on the tiebreaker for the 11th place team spot (Mill Creek-11th 298 pts). Senior co-captain
Alex Braswell (118th-18:24) concluded his Eagle cross country career and was Milton's final finisher. 167 runners completed the state championship race. This was the Eagles 10th consecutive trip to the state meet.
