MESSAGE FOR THE PRINCIPAL
Good evening Milton Community!
I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on my status after a challenging experience with COVID-19. Unfortunately my illness presented many of the symptoms associated with exposure, and definitely forced me to take the necessary time to allow my body to rest and FULLY recuperate.
I want to specifically say THANK YOU to the AMAZING STAFF of Milton HS. The challenge of starting the school year in URL has been met head-on and I could not be any more proud of their massive efforts to make it work for EVERY student!
I also want to THANK my ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM for their commitment to our students and staff. I was truly able to get through my illness because they were addressing challenges and allowing me to get the rest I needed!
Lastly, I want to say THANK YOU to the entire MILTON COMMUNITY and our PTO for supporting me during my absence. The continual positive messages and offers to help made it very clear to me that I am very privileged to work in this amazing school and community!
THANK YOU ALL and I am excited to get back to work!
Sincerely, Brian

While the start of this senior year is unlike any we've experienced before, the PTO Senior Events committee is committed to providing a great experience for our seniors.

SENIORS APPLYING TO GA COLLEGES
Seniors applying to Georgia schools, please see an important update regarding SAT/ACT testing for college admission: The University System of Georgia (USG) will waive test score requirements for Spring, Summer and Fall 2021 admission due to uncertainty about the scheduling of SAT/ACT testing during the COVID-19 pandemic. USG made the decision after monitoring testing availability during the spring and summer, when multiple test date cancellations caused limited testing availability and negatively impacted students. This temporary adjustment will allow students to apply for Spring, Summer and Fall 2021 admission without submitting ACT or SAT scores. Students must still meet all other admission requirements, and must meet adjusted minimum grade point average eligibility thresholds for admission to each USG sector. Students who have SAT/ACT scores may still submit them.

COMMON APP/NAVIANCE
We want to remind you that all students in Fulton County Schools now have access to Naviance, which can be accessed through your ClassLink account. As previously shared, schools will be using Naviance to process and submit transcripts, letters of recommendation, and other college application documents. IMPORTANT CHANGES to Common Application and requesting letters of recommendation: You can now create your Common App account, but we ask that you NOT invite any teachers or counselors to write letters of recommendation through Common App. Requesting letters of recommendation will take place in Naviance for the 2020-2021 school year. After August 1st, you will need to match your Common App account with your Naviance account. Requesting letters of recommendation in Common App before matching your Naviance account will create errors. Therefore, please hold off on requesting recommendations until after August 1st. To learn more, you can watch the Common App Matching video. Once you match Common App to Naviance, you will then be able to request transcripts and teacher recommendations in Naviance Student. These videos will help you understand this process better (click on each title to watch):
For now, we strongly encourage you, as you begin your senior year, to visit Naviance to research colleges, careers and scholarships! We hope that you will find these resources helpful. If you have any questions about Naviance Student and the college application process, please contact your assigned counselor.

Kudos for representing Milton JCL on the national stage!
ATHLETICS CROSS COUNTRY The Eagles 2nd Time Trial allowed the team to compete while waiting for season restrictions to be lifted from Fulton County Schools. The Milton cross country team hosted another time trial today as Fulton County Schools are still restricted from running against any other schools until at least September 14th due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Most runners competing today ran their first race of the season as a few on the team raced the course for the 2nd time in as many weeks. The girls race saw junior Jessica Albregts lead wire-to-wire & improve on her performance from last week by 9-seconds (1st-23:28) while besting sophomore Farrah Frith (2nd-23:48) who ran close to a 11-second personal best on the course. Rounding out the top-3 was junior Sydnie Behrman (3rd-25:35). In the boy's race, senior Jack Petkash ran to a 10-second course personal best (1st-18:12) to take the overall win with fellow senior Connor Brunson (2nd-18:33) & junior Dylan Bowden (3rd-18:59) also turning in course personal-best performances. The team will compete next week on the home course in it's annual 2-person, 8000 meter Inter-squad Relay before taking the weekend off of racing for the long Labor Day weekend.
