Barnwell Elementary and Milton High School National PTA School of Excellence Award Recipients

2014-2016 National PTA School of Excellence Award Recipients

Five metro Atlanta schools were named “schools of excellence” by National

PTA, an award that recognizes efforts to increase parent engagement at school.

Nationally, 170 schools earned the two-year designation. Six were in Georgia. The National PTA started the program as a way to promote “measurable progress” in education, health and safety, and arts and culture. The group used family surveys to see which schools showed growth.

The Georgia winners are: Fulton — Barnwell Elementary and Milton High; Cobb — Brumby Elementary and King Springs Elementary; Decatur City — College Heights Early Childhood Learning; Savannah-Chatham County — Carrie E. Gould Elementary.
