At a December 21, 2020 called meeting, the State Board of Education (SBOE) voted unanimously to approve State School Superintendent Richard Woods'
recommendation of a .01% course grade weight for Georgia Milestones End-of-Course (EOC) tests for the 2020-2021 school year. You can read about it here.

SENIOR PROM UPDATE
As of Sunday, April 11, we have sold a total of 163 tickets to the 2021 Prom. As we stated earlier, we need to sell 300 tickets to be able to hold Prom at the venue we have secured. Our original deadline of selling at least 300 by April 6 has, obviously, passed. The venue has agreed to hold the space for us a bit longer. However, if we do not get above 200 tickets, we will be unable to have the event. We will also NOT be able to have the event at school or at another location as we will not have enough time to secure all the things associated with an event like Prom (DJ, tents for outside, catering, etc.).
If we do reach the 200 ticket sale mark, we will move forward with Prom and keep ticket sales open until the day before Prom.
TICKET INFORMATION IS BELOW
PROM TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!
As a reminder, the following restrictions are in place:
- The Prom is for MILTON HS SENIORS ONLY (no underclass students will be allowed to attend)
- No guests allowed (no underclass MHS or ANY non-MHS guests/dates are allowed to attend)
- Masks will be required at the event

MHS 100th ANNIVERSARY:
ALUMNI FEATURE
Josh Porter graduated from Milton High School in 1998 and returned in 2015 to join the MHS faculty! After MHS, Josh graduated from the Citadel in 2002. He played rugby in Australia, New Zealand, and Aspen, Colorado. He also coached wrestling for fifteen years. He was the MHS Head Varsity Wrestling Coach before stepping down to be able to spend more time with his son who was born in late 2019. Josh was named the MHS Teacher of the Month in May 2020. He is currently the Adapted Physical Education teacher at Milton working with students with special needs and disabilities in the Community Based Instruction (CBI) program. Anyone who sees Josh with his students is immediately aware of how much his students love him and how much he loves them!
While a student at Milton, Josh was on the Student Council, the Football team, and the Wrestling team. He was the Captain of the wrestling team and Region Champ his senior year. He was on the football team in 1996 when Milton beat Roswell for the first time in 14 years! When he thinks about the time while he was in high school, he says he was hanging out with friends, "mudding," and watching movies. He remembers he and his friends trying to dress like they were on "90210."
Josh's favorite classes at Milton were AP U.S. Government with Mrs. Jackie Angel because he enjoyed talking about politics and Outdoor Education because he liked making campfires and learning about fishing with Coach Glenn Stephens. He said "Coach Stephens is the reason I'm a teacher and coach today! He made learning and playing football fun!" He also loved getting the Red Envelopes at graduation and Steak Night Wednesdays with the offensive line football players. He and some of his football buddies still get together every so often for Steak Night. When asked about his time at Milton, Josh said "I loved being a student at Milton High School. It was so much fun playing football and wrestling in a community that supported us!"

COVID REPORTING PORTAL
As students in Fulton County Schools (FCS) have begun returning to face-to-face instruction, a number of changes were implemented to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, and visitors. Among the most vital of these changes is the development and introduction of a new electronic FCS COVID-19 Reporting Portal for parents (and students). This electronic reporting process will allow for a more direct reaction from primarily the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) with support from FCS to promptly respond and address student/family cases of COVID-19.
