EAGLE PRIDEPRIDE
ACADEMICS
ROBOTICS
Milton High School has a new robotics team competing this year in the competition FTC (First Tech Challenge). Last weekend the Milton Robotics Team competed in an FTC meet and placed 9th in a competition with over 15 competing teams. The rounds were actioned packed and surprisingly close, in one round the MHS team lost by just one point. Robotics can be a blast and luckily the MHS robotics team may need you or your child's skills. Please contact the team via email (tj272004@gmail.com) if your child would like to join. Also contact if you or your workplace are interested in sponsoring our team. Being our first year in the league, it would be great if anybody would be interested in sponsoring our team for we desperately need money for new tools and parts.
LATIN CLUB
Congratulations to Rithwik Koppaka for placing 5th in the Academic Pentathlon at this year's Georgia Junior Classical League Fall Forum! Fall Forum was hosted this year at North Gwinnett High School and hosted almost 1000 Latin students. The Pentathlon was a 100-question, multiple choice examination, which tested Latin vocabulary, derivatives, grammar, history, mythology, and reading comprehension. The exam is rigorous and pitted Rithwik against the best students in the state in Latin III or above.
FINE/PERFORMING ARTS
MARCHING BAND
Congratulations to all the members of this year's marching band an outstanding performance at the Bands of America regional held this past weekend at McEachern High School. In addition to earning a superior rating, the band was named as a Finalist and earned the highest score in school history at a Bands of America event.
DRAMA
And it's a wrap! Congratulations to Milton Theatre Company and the cast and crew of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" on their GHSA entry and One Act awards yesterday! Milton hosted this year and it was a fantastic day of theatre. Thanks again to all of our helping hands. It takes a village... and we have a special village!

In round 4, hosted by Pope HS this weekend, Elena Hanftwurzel earned her first bronze medal of the season . Alex Salyer and women's team captain Madelyn Davis also performed well and added to their points. Nick Braatz continued his unbroken streak; earning points in every tournament this season.

They do not look like regular cigarettes and can be mistaken for pens, USB drives and other every day items. E-cigarettes can also be used to deliver marijuana and other drugs. This presentation will discuss all the risks of using e-cigarettes and real examples of the different types available to our students.
