Thinking about a Service Academy for Your College Plans?
Please read this announcement from Senator Isakson:
Each year one of my duties as a United States Senator is to
nominate qualified candidates to the United States military academies. This
year I, along with members of the Georgia Congressional Delegation, will host
our annual statewide academy event to familiarize students with the application
and nomination process and to expose them to academy life.
The spring
Academy Day will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2017, from 10:00-11:30 AM at
Dobbins Air Reserve Base located at 1408 Dobbins Place, Dobbins ARB, Marietta,
GA 30069. Guests should arrive as early as 9:00 AM to clear security and to
visit information tables. Representatives from all five academies as well as
cadets and midshipmen will be in attendance and ready to answer questions. The
event is targeted to students grades 8-12 and their parents. All attendees must
make a reservation due to security restrictions and present photo
identification to the Cobb Parkway checkpoint for admittance onto the base.
All persons
who are interested in attending must make a reservation by registering online
at https://www.isakson.senate.gov/ by the registration deadline of 5:00 PM,
Monday, April 17, 2017. No exceptions will be made. Students who wish to attend
should visit the academy page on my web site and follow the prompts to
register. Each person, including parents, who will attend Academy Day must
register due to the requirements for entry onto the military base.
Please make
this information available to your college counselors and your students. I am
attaching an Academy Day flyer for you to distribute. Information on this event
and the academy process will appear on my web site,
https://www.isakson.senate.gov/. It will be beneficial to check the web site
before the event to monitor any last minute information or changes. If you need
any additional information, please contact my Academy Director, Nancy Brooks,
in my state office by calling (770) 661-0741.
Sincerely,
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator

- Deadwyler Scholarship for $500
- Pinnacle Bank for $500
- Rotary Scholarships, four for $300 each

This year, we have formulated a common application for students to complete which will put them in the running for each of the scholarships listed above! One application for seven (or more) scholarships; that makes things easy!
Only students who complete the attached scholarship application will be in the running for these scholarships. The odds for this scholarship competition are the best around, so do not neglect to take care of this one by April 17th. If you have questions, email Mr. Kulp at mike.kulp@socialcircleschools.org.

Junior Meetings
Attention juniors and the parents of juniors:
You are owed an hour of Mr. Kulp's professional time to come in and get some great counsel on mapping out the next two years of life (and maybe beyond). In this meeting, we will answer life's mysteries, like "what is left for me to take in order to graduate in May 2018?" Or, "what is my HOPE GPA and how doe I apply to get HOPE $?" How about the always popular, "what tests do I need to knock out to do what I want to do and how do I register to take them?" And there is the perennial favorite, "what do I need to know about applying to college/tech school or enlisting in the Armed Services?" Wow! You won't believe all that we [you, Mr. Kulp, and your parent(s)] will cover in this meeting.
To date, 27 of your peers have had this meeting, which means that there are 123 of you who have not scheduled this yet! We need to knock this out ASAP so that your student goes into the summer knowing all that has to be done to be ready to transition to life beyond high school. I need all of you to stop what you are doing and send Mr. Kulp an email to request a meeting- mike.kulp@socialcircleschools.org. I look forward to days filled with these small intimate meetings with the awesome SCHS juniors!
