What's New

Attendance Awareness Month


Congratulations to the winners of the Attendance Awareness Month Poster Contest!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, underscoring that regular school attendance is directly linked to academic success. Make every day count because missing 2 days of school each month means a child misses 10% of the school year.

Student Entrepreneur Expo


Join us in supporting our student business owners, who will showcase their goods and services at the Student Entrepreneur Expo on Thursday, September 12, at the Center for Leadership and Learning from 4-6:30 p.m. as we celebrate Minority Business Opportunity Week. For more information, please contact Brent Bailey at bbaily@atlanta.k12.ga.us.

Hispanic College and Career Event


Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. As part of the celebration, we’re hosting a Hispanic College and Career Event at Agape on September 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. This event will provide valuable resources and information to students and families about college admissions, scholarships, and career opportunities specifically tailored to support our Hispanic community.
