Hooch Happenings

Todd's Tidbits

Hooch Families,

It is hard to believe that we are heading in to February already and moving toward some very busy months from a school standpoint.

Feb/March - Student scheduling for the 2021-2022 school year
April - End-of-course testing
May - Advanced Placement testing

And, to top off the busyness, we are planning for the good possibility of a true graduation for our SENIORS! We have been in contact with Ameris Bank Amphitheatre and hope to have more specifics in the coming week or two. I for one am very excited for the Class of 2021.

Lastly, I want to remind students and parents of the timeline on clearing any Incompletes that may have shown up on the transcript from the 1st semester. The district has made it clear that if an Incomplete is not "cleared" by attending summer school, then the "I" will be changed on the transcript to a "WF" which stands for Withdraw Failing. This is not something that can be removed from a transcript, so PLEASE look for the information on registering for summer school coming out later this spring and GET IT DONE!

Hooch Exposure

On the eve of Black History Month, Chattahoochee wants to introduce the Hooch Exposure committee. This is an action committee made up of staff that have been meeting and planning on next steps to make Hooch's diversity an ongoing matter that we incorporate in the already strong culture of acceptance that we have, currently.

For now though, we have before us the month of February and have planned for several activities supported by our Black Lives Matter and Black Student Union organizations. In addition, "The Core Four", a group made up of the four Johns Creek High Schools, has kicked us off by sponsoring the trivia competition you see below. Let's Gooooo Cougars and beat our rivals!!

GNFCC Emerging Leaders Program

The Greater North Fulton Chamber is hard at work planning for our 2021-22 Emerging Leaders (ELP) program, and we hope your students from Chattahoochee High School will join us!

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) offers a unique opportunity for sophomores and juniors from North Fulton high schools who wish to develop leadership skills, identify and address community issues and interact with local leaders. This is accomplished through a combination of interactive lectures, discussions, site visits, outside activities, community service, and networking opportunities.

We invite you and your team to share this program with any students who you believe could benefit from Emerging Leaders and with their parents. Pillars of the program include promoting community awareness, instilling civic responsibility, and building relationships. Students engage civic leaders through program class days including:

Leadership Training
Recognizing Your Strengths
Working with a Team
Professional Development
Financial Literacy
Mock Interview
Community Service
Government & Judicial
Valuing Community Diversity
Health & Wellness
Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurism
Public Safety & Justice

For more information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

I look forward to hearing from you!

This meeting is for both parents/guardians and students to attend - VIRTUALLY.
