This class provides students a framework for understanding the problem-solving process, taking opportunities to participate in meaningful activities that affect our society in positive ways (civic participation), using conflict-resolution skills, learning effective communication skills, adhering to ethical codes of practice, and exercising tolerance and advocacy of others’ rights. Selected students will be assigned to assist off-campus at one of our cluster elementary schools (must provide your own transportation) or on-campus in our special education or ESOL classrooms. Click here to complete the Peer Leadership application.

Peachtree Ridge High School is moving forward with plans to host Graduation, Prom, and Honors nights in-person. Our Graduation will be at the Gwinnett Arena with the date and time being released in mid-March. Current prom plans include it being hosted outside at Peachtree Ridge High School with tickets only being sold to seniors at a date to be determined. Honors and ROAR night will be hosted at Peachtree Ridge High School with dates to be determined. While we’re excited about potentially hosting these events in-person, we know that they will look significantly different than years past.
