FULL RELEASE DAY THIS FRIDAY
This is just a friendly reminder. Friday is a FULL RELEASE DAY for all students. There is no school  on Friday, August 31 or Monday, September 3. We look forward to seeing your support during the FREEDOM BOWL this Friday and we wish everyone a SAFE HOLIDAY WEEKEND!
SCHOOL DAY CHANGE
At their August meeting, the Fulton County Board of Education voted to approve the Superintendent's recommendation to change the district's 2018-19 School Year Calendar.
 
This school year,  November 6, 2018 has been changed from a r egular school day, to a teacher work day.  March 8, 2019 has been changed from a teacher work day, to a regular school day. The decision alleviates safety concerns raised by some parents and staff, allows for additional staff training on safety protocols, and maintains instructional time for our students. Additionally, our school board has expressed interest in addressing a long term solution through the legislative process.

In addition, we wanted to communicate to you what will happen should your student arrive late to class on a consistent basis. The following outlines the progression of consequences:
Number of Times Late to Class
Consequence

ATHLETICS
VOLLEYBALL
Congratulations to our Lady Eagles Volleyball Team. They beat Norcross and Centennial without dropping a set. Mallory Reed was named player of the game against Norcross, and Karsyn Hay was named player of the game against Centennial.


CROSS COUNTRY
The Milton High School Cross Country teams travelled to the friendly confines of McIntosh Reserve Park in Whitesburg, GA for the Bob Blastow/Early Bird Invitational and came away with a individual race win, two team runner-ups, two team 3rd places and two team victories. 
VARSITY GIRLS: Lady Eagle junior  Nyah Hernandez (1st-18:28) wasted no time and went straight to the front and was never headed as she became the third fastest performer in school history. Her performance actually ties the 2nd best performer (Marie Repasy '17) from the 2016 race. Hernandez built up a lead of almost 100 meters as she cruised the first mile (5:34) and then went on for the meet win! Team-wise,
Milton (3rd-66 pts) faced off against two defending champions, Cambridge (1st-43 pts) from Class 6A & McIntosh (2nd-50 pts) from Class 5A. The Lady Eagles did defeat 16 scoring schools as senior Taylor Cushman (8th-19:07) and junior Abby Rindt (9th-19:13) followed Hernandez. Completing the scoring for Milton were senior captain Faith Wagner (26th-20:31) & sophomore Audrey Nichols (30th-20:43) in a new personal best performance! Senior captain Samantha Lenox (32nd-20:51) & fellow seniors Olivia Lawson (43rd-21:12) and Maddie Erbey (21:30) followed for the Lady Eagle effort. 

VARSITY BOYS: Running a valiant team effort,  Milton (2nd-69 pts) fell just-short of the team and meet win. The defending 7A state champions were just 5 points from defending 6A state champions and cross-town rivals Cambridge (1st-64 pts) in a very tight battle! Leading the Milton charge was senior captain
Luke Bonneville (5th-16:04) running his 2nd best time and was closely followed by the big personal best of fellow senior Gary Halverson (7th-16:09) and sophomore Hayden Marshall (9th-16:12) who tied his personal best! It was the solid racing by senior Anish Gupta (17th-16:52) that kept the Eagles in the team title hunt. Senior co-captain Ben Reilly (31st-17:19) & junior Spencer Watry (35th-17:26) provided strong support. JV race winner from last week, Joe Pick (50th-17:42) was close to 40 seconds better than his last week's effort and senior Gavin Roman (83rd-18:36) concluded Milton's finishers. 

JV GIRLS: The  Lady Eagles (3rd-78 pts) could not hold off strong efforts from Cambridge (1st-38 pts) & North Oconee (2nd-62 pts) but beat out 8 scoring schools. Leading the Lady Eagles were juniors  Maggie Gibson (13th-22:04) & Katy Dickinson (16th-22:31) along with freshman Jessica Albregts (18th-22:43) .

JV BOYS: Milton (2nd-58 pts) put all its scorers in the top-17 but were soundly beaten by Cambridge (1st-17 pts). Junior  Liam Wagenbrenner (8th-18:09) & freshman  Davis Hobbs (10th-18:16) & Dylan Bowden (11th-18:18) were Milton's top-finishers. 

OPEN BOYS & OPEN GIRLS: The Eagles lone team victories came in both open races as the  Milton (1st-36 pts) boys bested 11 schools and the  Milton (1st-28 pts) girls overcame 6 scoring programs! Juniors  Griffin Ramsey (4th-19:29) and Aidan O'Hare (3rd-23:21) led the Open Eagles team efforts.
