FALL EXAM SCHEDULE
The FALL EXAM SCHEDULE & EXEMPTION POLICY are listed below. They can also be accessed by clicking on the following links:
MISSED EXAMS
Students are expected to be present and on time on all testing days. If a student must miss a final exam due to illness, the parent/guardian must call the Attendance Office on the day of the absence in order for the student to take his/her exam on the make-up days. If the Attendance Office is not alerted, the absence will be considered unexcused. The student must also bring in documentation related to the absence when they return to take the make-up exam.
CHECKING STUDENTS OUT
Students will
not be allowed
to check out while exams are in progress. Classrooms cannot be interrupted and students will not be allowed in the academic halls. For a student to check out prior to the end of the day, please have your student bring a note to the Attendance Office before the beginning of the school day.
Due to the volume, the
Attendance Office
cannot
accept
emails or phone calls at check-out time.
FINAL EXAM EXEMPTION POLICY
Student exemptions are intended as an academic incentive.
Students in grades 9 through 12
in semester courses ONLY
are able to exempt fall exams.

TOWEL DRIVE
Milton Baseball players are conducting their annual New Bath Towel Drive for the Red Shield Shelter in Atlanta. Every ye
ar, Milton High School and the Eagles Baseball program collect 100's of towels to help the homeless in their time of most need. The
Red Shield Shelter
is the largest in metro Atlanta (325 beds) and has sections for veterans, women, men and families. It is the only shelter in our area where a family can actually stay together in a shelter, having one less challenge to deal with in times of crisis.
Please deliver NEW BATH TOWELS to the MHS Atrium
in the mornings between 7:15 - 8:00AM beginning MONDAY, DECEMBER 2 through FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13.
The Milton Family who donates the most towels will receive a FREE parking permit for the 2020-2021 school year.
After the towel drive, Milton Baseball players will deliver the towels to the shelter before the winter break. Take a look at this video to learn more about the Red Shield Shelter:

EAGLE PRIDE
LATIN
Congratulations to the Milton Latin students who were award winners in the 2019 Classical Literacy Exam. The Classical Literacy Exam is an exhaustive review of Latin terms and abbreviations, mythology, history, and ancient literature. The guiding idea of the CLE is to include everything that educated people should know about the classical world. Students study an official list of classical terms, phrases, and identifications. The contest then requires students themselves to provide the term, phrase, or identification from that list that correctly answers a given question. The CLE is a great way for students to test their knowledge of the classical world.
