You made it! Congratulations to all of the third, fourth, and fifth graders for successfully finishing

the 2013 CRCT this week. You worked hard all

throughout the year preparing for the test and

you made it through. Much like the tests that

adults must go through in life, had it not been for

the education and situations we would not be in

the place we are today. Good or bad; learning

does not stop just because we have graduated

from school. The learning continues throughout

each day we live.

When it comes to education I believe some of

the most dedicated professionals are here in

Fulton County. Not just because it is where I

work but it is because we provide extra learning

opportunities for our children as well as

educators as well. So today I want to encourage

community members, parents and students to

always run after a higher piece of knowledge!

Knowledge is the key to a bright future and can

open many doors for you. As long as you are

doing your best and keeping a positive attitude

nothing and no one can keep you from

succeeding in life!

Strategic Plan 2017

This is the school systems roadmap for how Fulton County

Schools aims to improve student achievement over the next

five years. Three goals serve as the districts measure for

long-term student success, which is that students will graduate

on time and be ready for college or the workforce.

Graduation Rate 90% of Fulton students will

graduate on time

College Readiness 85% of Fultons seniors will be

eligible for admission to a University System of Georgia

college or university

Career Readiness 100% of Fulton's graduates will

be work-ready certified

These are big goals, but they are attainable, said

Superintendent Avossa. Our strategic plan is focused on

improving outcomes for all students, and the only way to do

this is to set measurable goals and put supports in place to help
