Another Year of Celebrating Academic Excellence!

January 23, 2017 was an evening of celebration for the Academic Team of Fannin County High School.  The academic team consists of all grade level students who compete against other schools throughout this region of Georgia.  Students are quizzed over all areas of mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies, in addition to current events in the world news.  These students practiced both afternoons and mornings throughout the school year, putting in many hours to prepare for the competitions.  These dedicated young people will be the leaders of tomorrow!

Our end of year banquet was held at Southern Charm, in downtown Blue Ridge.  If you have not experienced the cuisine at this southern style restaurant, you should, for you will be in for a treat!  Thank you to the Academic Booster Club for buying the meals for the team!

The evening began with time for students, their family and attending faculty and administrators to socialize and enjoy the ambience and company.

After dining, awards were presented.  The Junior Varsity team all received medals for placing second in our region at the regional tournament held in Flowery Branch and certificates of participation. The Varsity team received certificates for lettering or participation.  All students received lamp of knowledge pins and bars of service, all depending on their years and experience for letter jackets.

Through the generosity of several local businesses, all students received two door prizes.  A copy of the program for the evening is attached, listing both the members of the teams and the businesses who contributed gifts for door prizes.

We are looking forward to next year with high expectations of both teams bringing home trophies!
