Feagin Mill Middle named
Georgia School of Excellence
Special to the Journal
Feagin Mill Middle School
has been named a Top 10
percent Georgia School
of Excellence in Student
Achievement. State
Superintendent of Schools
Kathy Cox announced 25

pas week.
Feagin Mill was also
named a School of Excellence
in 2003. Twenty-two
Houston County schools
have been named a School

31 awards.
“We, at Feagin Mill
Middle School, are more
than elated to be recognized
as a School of Excellence
in Student Achievement
(2007 Georgia School of
Excellence),” said Feagin
Mill Middle School Assistant
Principal of Instruction
Shawn Carpenter. “The
faculty work hard for the
benefit and success of our
students. In turn, the stu
dents work hard to meet
our high expectations.
“Additionally, we are
blessed with and thankful
for the support of our par
ents, community partners,
central office and board of
education.”
Added Carpenter, ”Our
students are great! We
have over 1,000 children
in this building and they
know that education is a
privilege; they appreciate
the opportunities they are
provided. Recognizing dif
ferences in a positive way
and helping each other
so that everyone learns
are attributes you notice
when watching them at
work. We love our kids
they work hard to
achieve excellence and we
are very proud of them!

remiss not to acknowledge

Citizens of the week
Paige R. Busbee who ulti
mately catalyzes the excel
lence for which we are
being recognized through
her beliefs, expertise, and
supportive development of
teacher-leaders. Of highest
importance is the diligence
FMMS teachers exhibit in
both acquiring instruction
al knowledge, skills, and
practices and in creating
classroom environments
which insure high levels of
student learning.
“Teachers actively sup
port the school goal of pro
viding a safe, structured,
and respectful atmosphere
enabling us, FMMS, to
accomplish our mission of
producing high achieving
students.
“Most of all, the teach
ers care about the students
their present and their
future successes. The bot
tom-line is that teachers
make the difference, and
obviously ours do!”
The Georgia Department
of Education identifies
one public school in each
Congressional District that
is in the top ten percent of
Georgia schools measured
by reading and mathemat
ics assessments.
The Georgia DOE also
identifies one school from
each district that has made
the greatest continuous
gains in student achieve
