MOULTRIE, Ga. The Georgia Department of Education recently released its list of Reward Schools.

These schools and districts are working against the odds to provide an excellent education for their students, state School Superintendent Richard Woods said. This is so much more than numbers or data. We are talking about changed lives for thousands of students. I cant overstate how proud I am of every teacher, administrator, and parent who worked to make that happen.

Colquitt County High School has earned the distinction of being named a High Progress school.

A High Progress School is a Title I school among the 10 percent of Title I schools in the state that is making the most progress in improving the performance of the all students group over three years on the statewide assessments, according to a press release from the Colquitt County School System. A school may not be classified as a High Progress School if it has been identified as a Priority or Focus School.

Colquitt County Schools Superintendent of Schools Doug Howell commented, Success does not happen without a concerted effort toward a common goal. Congratulations to the students, teachers, staff, and parents who have invested in the future.
