College Board Linking Award The Bibb County School District has made a commitment to preparing students for the SAT college entrance exam by ensuring students have access to test prep materials and resources and to the SAT itself by administrating the SAT during the school day. In this effort, the District has focused on enrolling junior and senior students in Khan Academy, a personalized learning resource that offers instructional videos and practice exercises for the SAT. This concerted effort has led to over 80 percent of juniors and seniors linking to this valuable preparation service. This was the highest percentage in all of Georgia and the third highest in the Southeastern states. The College Board has taken note of this and recognized the District with the “Georgia’s College Board Linking Award.” National Junior Beta Quiz Bowl Champions A group of students from Springdale Elementary School recently traveled to compete at the Quiz Bowl competition at the National Junior Beta Club Convention in Orlando. At the national event, the students won the national championship for their division. The team included Sofia Ali, Bennett Barkley, Nathan Haskell and Griffin Moore along with coach Susan Mason and sponsors Anne Oxford, Jennifer Johnston and Fran Jackson. 2017 Georgia Association Career and Technical Education New Teacher of the Year Westside High School teacher Valeria Drummond was recognized earlier this year as the Georgia Marketing Education Association’s New Teacher of the Year. That honor allowed her to be considered for the same award through the Georgia Association for Career and Technical Education. She was selected as the statewide winner over top new educators in a variety of disciplines.
