McIntosh High School has had the top SAT scores among all AAAA-sized schools in Georgia over the past three years, officials announced today.

The announcement was made as part of the Governor's Cup program, which included Gov. Sonny Perdue and State School Superintendent Kathy Cox, herself a former McIntosh High School teacher.

Georgia has made free SAT prep classes available online in a bid to boost students' success, officials said. The state has also launched gacollege411.org, which has post-secondary planning materials made available to students.

Other schools honored for having the best SAT scores in Georgia for the past three years were Trion High School in Class A, Decatur High School in Class AA, Davidson Magnet School in Class AAA and Walton High School in Class AAAAA.

What a shame

How wonderful for MHS to be honored this way the same week 8 of their prestigious cheerleaders are suspended for the rest of the season. Drinking and/or supplying the alcohol while cheering at the football game friday night. What wonderful role models for our future squads to aspire to become. Not only is there the illegal factor, but what about the safety issues of stunting or tumbling while under the influence. What a shame!

No wonder McIntosh is such an outstanding school. It sounds like the coaches and administration hold the students and athletes accountable for their behavior. I'm sure that future squads will remember these consequences when given the opportunity to drink. Thanks, Who knows, for letting us know how McIntosh dealt with this problem swiftly and effectively. Again, I'm impressed. Keep up the good work Chiefs!
