Very Little Local Love for Whitewater Middle School....

People of Fayette County, please try to acknowledge beyond a simple news article the truly great accomplishments at Whitewater Middle School. For the years that I have been teaching here in Fayette, I have overheard too many people from other schools say that Whitewater sports were good because they have the "country kids". Seriously?!? If so, then maybe PTC should re-evaluate what direction their kids are heading. Beyond the numerous articles on the success of the middle school sports teams- fairly consistently- NOW the school has been honored with a 2009 Georgia Schools of Excellence. Actually from the top 10 OVERALL scores based on academic achievement, Whitewater Middle was the #3 ranked school in the entire state and #1 middle school. Not too shabby.... Just a little FYI, the 2009 Spring CRCT scores for Whitewater were 100% passing Reading Assessment and 96% passing the Math Assessment (TOPS in this county)...

The kids are great here, and we truly DO have the top academic- scholars in the county.

Have a great day!
