Greenville High School
"Home of the Mighty Patriots"
Message from the Principal
As I look back on my third year as Greenville High School’s Principal, I remain amazed by the extraordinary level of dedication shown by every member of our school: students, parents, faculty, staff, administrators, and the Meriwether
County School Board.
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of each Greenville High School staff member, and express my appreciation to every single member of this team for the smooth transition at the beginning of the year. I have gotten only positive feedback from parents that the school year started without incident and everything was well organized. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to my dedicated colleagues and volunteers for creating a successful year at Greenville High School!
Congratulations the Class 2013 for a job well done and wish you much success as you enter a new chapter in your life.
Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the Greenville High School staff for the sincere dedication and commitment they demonstrate toward our students – they truly are a special group of educators!
Have a great and safe summer vacation!!!

Department of Education Launches “Georgia’s Future. Now!”
Nov. 13, 2012 - State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge today unveiled a first-of-its-kind video web series called “Modern Teacher” as part of new statewide campaign to help build community support for public education.
The novel approach is called “Georgia’s Future. Now!”, a movement of forward-thinking educators, supportive communities and business leaders answering the call for help.
“It’s a research-based initiative, born in the classroom - not in the boardroom - with living examples of what works for teachers to prepare all Georgia students for college and careers,” said Superintendent Barge. “It’s time to stop tearing down public education and start building it up. There are many things working well in our public schools – and plenty of things not working well – so we need to rally around the successes and build on those and share them with other schools.”
The web series is a humorous introduction to a serious discussion about statewide initiatives in public education. It will launch in early 2013 on the web and features a full cast of characters who poke fun at themselves and the changes taking place in public education.
The premiere of each episode will be followed by a serious roundtable discussion about some of the state’s primary education initiatives: Common Core Georgia Performance Standards, the new teacher and leader evaluation system, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act waiver and Career Pathways. No tax dollars are being spent on the video web series.
“Things have been tough around public education lately, so perhaps a little humor will relieve the tension,” Dr. Barge said. “It will hopefully open the door to dialogue, create a buzz in our schools, touch your heart and mind while making a point.”
Barge launched “Georgia’s Future. Now!” on Tuesday morning at Twin Rivers Middle School in Buford. He was joined by J. Alvin Wilbanks, superintendent/CEO of Gwinnett County Public Schools; Jim Maran, CEO of the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce; Twin Rivers Principal Linda Boyd; and Georgia Teacher of the Year Lauren Eckman.
“This is a positive opportunity to share with people what we’re doing well to prepare kids to be productive citizens who can give back to their communities,” said Dr. Laurie Barron, the National Middle School Principal of the Year, who leads Smokey Road Middle School in Coweta County. “It’s taking all of our approaches, and putting them together in a concerted effort that gets us the goal we’re after.”
