HALL OF FAME WEEKEND
This year's MHS Hall of Fame weekend is coming up on September 27 and 28. We would love to fill the football stands and seats in the auditorium with current students, faculty and staff, and community members! This year we're inducting a former golf team member who's now playing on the PGA tour, a former standout English student who's now an independent bookstore owner, a former member of the football team who's now playing for the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL, a former chorus member who's now singing with the LA Opera, and a WWII military hero who graduated in 1934. In addition to the graduates, we're inducting a retired Social Studies teacher and retired Art teacher/department chair-both of whom were beloved by students and fellow faculty alike. These inductees are former students and faculty who have come before us and paved the way for our "tradition of excellence since 1921." Let's all turn out and show our appreciation! See the invitation below for details.

AP TEST INFORMATION
As you know, taking the Advanced Placement exam is an important part of all AP courses. Milton High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can possibly earn student's college credit for their high school classes, saving a significant amount on tuition. AP exams are given to Milton students at no cost. Students will have the ability to continue in this tradition by registering for their tests during the priority registration window.
Students must sign in on
https://myap.collegeboard.org
and use their College Board account, which is the same login that they may have used to access past AP, PSAT, or for the SAT scores. If you do not have an account, click the Sign Up link on the website. When registering,
please be sure that you DO NOT
use your FCS issued email address
; use an email address you regularly check. This registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access.
Students must enroll in their class sections for each AP course they take. Your AP teacher(s) will provide you a join code to enroll in each of your class section(s). Once you receive your join code(s), you can sign into
https://myap.collegeboard.org to complete the registration process for classroom resources and to register for your exam(s). To complete the registration, students must answer all required questions.
You will click either Yes or No indicating whether
you will sit for the exam or not.
If you are taking an AP course through Georgia Virtual, you will receive your join code(s) through an email from Ms. White. You will only enroll in an exam only section.
Priority Exam Registration IS NOW OPEN. You will have until Wednesday, November 13, 2019 to complete your registration at no cost
.
For students taking an AP course for the full year,
Online Late Registration will begin on Friday, November 15, 2019
at a cost of $40 per exam for full year AP classes, and end on
March 11, 2020.
If you are only registered for a second semester AP course (not a full year course), you will only incur a late registration fee if you register after Wednesday, March 11, 2020.
Any canceled exams or if a student is not present on exam day the cancellation fee is $40.
Here are the important dates for the registration process:
- 9/16/19 - AP Priority Exam Registration Opens

PSAT DAY
PSAT on WEDNESDAY, October 16
Parents and Guardians, Please mark your calendars: it is critical for all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to be in attendance on this testing day. We kindly request to consider NOT checking your child out of school for any reason during that day so they can complete the entire test. There are NO MAKE UP SESSIONS for the PSAT. So, if they do not finish their test in one setting, they will not receive a score.
PREPARING FOR THE PSAT
Please ensure that your child has a good night of rest and a healthy breakfast. We sent PSAT study guides (free of charge) home on September 17 so students can get familiar with test procedures, test-taking advice, and complete a practice exam.
Why is it important for my child to
take
and do well on the PSAT?
- It helps students navigate their path through high school toward college and career and offers a range of unique benefits to students.
- The National Merit Scholarship Program uses PSAT/NMSQT scores to identify candidates. And scholarships offered by new College Board partners use information from the PSAT/NMSQT to expand access to scholarship dollars.
- Students who take PSAT will have access to video lessons and will receive personalized SAT study resources based on their test results. Their Khan Academy® practice experience is tailored to meet individual student needs.
- Using results from the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT, AP PotentialTM helps schools identify students likely to succeed in certain AP courses and AP Exams. These students are also notified of their potential directly.
PSAT test fees for 9th and 11th graders are paid by Fulton County school system. PSAT test fees for 10th graders are paid by Georgia Department of Education. PSAT is critical for college and career readiness.

ATHLETICS
CROSS COUNTRY
The cross-country teams at Milton again participated in the Atlanta Track Club's Wingfoot Cross Country Classic meet held in Cartersville, GA under dry & dusty but cool conditions for the 5th time and came away with many individual highlights that helped the Eagles at the most competitive meet so far this season.
Varsity Girls
The Lady Eagles (11th-322 pts) bested 13 schools in the championship girls race run under the lights for the first time at this prestigious meet. Milton senior Nyah Hernandez (24th-18:59) tied her season's best performance to once again lead the Lady Eagles. Freshman Annalise Crow (67th-19:45) ran to a 55-second personal best while running in only one shoe for most of the race! Senior co-captain Abby Rindt (77th-19:58) followed running a season's best time. Junior Audrey Nichols (79th-20:01) ran much of the race in the top-50 before a slight injury slowed her progress late in the race, but she still managed to run her 2nd-best performance of her career. Closing out the scoring for Milton was sophomore Jessica Albregts (129th-20:43) in a 10-second personal best! Also running varsity for the Lady Eagles was junior Clare Petkash (149th-21:04) in over a 1-minute personal best and freshman Gabby Beckman (178th-22:11) in her 2nd-best effort timewise this season.
Varsity Boys
In one of the most competitive races the Eagles have had to face this season, Milton (23rd-480 pts) bested only 2 teams in the championship race division as the individual performances highlighted the team's effort again under the lights! Junior Hayden Marshall (36th-16:15) ran to his 2nd best performance in his career for the 5000-meter distance to lead the Eagles. Senior co-captain Spencer Watry (45th-16:29) ran to a 9-second personal best and shows his track speed can carry over to the off-road courses. Milton had a tough go of it as most of the rest of the squad got caught up in a fall just after the start and lost contact with the main part of the race and never really were able to recover. Junior Jack Petkash (127th-17:31) ran to a 39-second personal best followed closely by senior co-captain Joe Pick (152nd-17:39), junior Connor Brunson (165th-17:49), sophomore Dylan Bowden (170th-17:58) and finally junior Lorin Tady (181st-18:20). Brunson ran an all-time best with Bowden picking up his 2nd best time ever to help lead the Eagles.
