Stockbridge Elementary honored with progress award

Henry County’s Stockbridge Elementary School has been recognized as a Title I High-Progress Reward School. Only the top 10 percent of Title I schools in Georgia receive this recognition based on their efforts over several years to improve the performance of all students on statewide assessments. Already recognized as a Georgia School of Excellence, Stockbridge Elementary received its certificate at a school ceremony. School officials also were informed that they would receive $3,000 to provide teachers and staff bonuses and/or to purchase instructional-related supplies and services for the school. “This recognition speaks to the commitment, hard work, collaboration, and partnership of all stakeholders involved with our school,” Principal Bonita Fluker said. “We continue to stand firmly on the belief that our students can be the best because they are the best.”
