Congratulations to Senior, Jaden Ha. He was one of the National Merit scholarsip winners. He was awarded a $2500 scholarship.

The UGA Certificate of Merit is an academic accolade granted to Georgia high school juniors who are in the top 5% of their class, determined by their performance during the first three years of school. This honor is jointly awarded by the University of Georgia and the Georgia Department of Education, recognizing exceptional scholastic accomplishments. This year we have 73 students who qualified for the Certificate of Merit! Click here to see the list.

Last weekend 13 students from the Parkview Junior Classical League attended State Convention along with over 500 other Latin students across Georgia.

The Parkview delegation competed in athletic, academic, and artistic events, and won

4th place in the Soccer tournament

Please congratulate our boys soccer team for an incredible win over Brookwood on Friday night (3/27). We were down 0-2 with 10 minutes left in game. Senior captain Paul McDonald scored a penalty and then junior defender Cayden Woods scored with 50 seconds left in the game to send the game to over time. After two scoreless overtime periods, Kevin Rios saved the last penalty kick to secure the win. This win guarantees a spot in the playoffs. Your panthers play again on Thursday at Norcross for our final region match of the season.

Congratulations to our boys soccer team for their win over Norcross last night (4/2). The boys were down 0-1 at half time and came back to win the game in penalty kicks. This win secures a 2nd place finish in region. Your panthers will host the first round of playoffs on Friday, April 24.

We are preparing for the Georgia Milestones / End-of-Course Assessments (EOCs). Students enrolled in the courses below will take the required EOC.

The Georgia Milestones are administered at the end of an EOC course to provide information about the student’s achievement in the course. These are state required assessments. For EOCs, the test contributes to a percentage of the student’s final grade in the course. Our EOC courses are Biology, Algebra: Concepts and Connections, Literature and Composition II, and U.S. History.

For more information please visit Georgia DOE – Milestones.

EOC Testing Schedule:

Monday, April 27th – Literature and Composition II EOC Section 1

Students must attend all three Saturdays of the Session to complete the course. The grade earned on the final exam will be the final grade issued for the Credit Recovery course.

Students must attend all three scheduled Saturdays for Session 2 and satisfy the seat time requirements (12 hours) along with passing the final exam to earn credit for the credit recovery course.
Students will be registered for the Credit Recovery course in Synergy once they have completed the Super Saturday registration form and confirmation of eligibility for the course has been confirmed.
The student may only complete one course in a Super Saturdays Session. After Session 2, plans are being made to offer an additional Super Saturday session from May 26-29.
If a student misses a Saturday or does not meet seat requirements, they will be removed from the credit recovery course and not receive credit.
Students/Parents must complete this form to register for Session 2. Once registered, more information will be sent to registered students and parents.
