The Georgia Department of Education and State Superintendent Richard Woods named Loganville High School, Monroe Area High School and Walnut Grove High School 2021 Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools based on the AP exam performance of last year’s graduates.
"I congratulate all three of our high schools for once again achieving high levels of AP success despite the impact of COVID-19,” said Superintendent Nathan Franklin. “These state-level honors are a true testament to the hard work of our teachers, coordinators and students. I am proud of their accomplishments and commend them for a job well done.”
