If you've got a high schooler, civics is in session. Houston County high schools are running voter registration drives and mock elections to engage students, including first-time voters.
In Fort Valley, Peach County school officials say declining grades and changes in behavior can be warning signs of bullying. They want students to report it so administrators can investigate and help. Lead counselor Beverly Stewart said students may stay quiet out of fear that "things may get worse."
“I just try to check on the person, see if they’re okay, see what happened, and what started the bullying.”
On the field, Peach County is No. 3 in Class 4A and Northeast Macon is No. 2 in Class 3A. Friday at 7:30 p.m., Northside hosts Class 6A No. 1 Thomas County Central at McConnell Talbert Stadium.
Three teams rank in the top four of their classes in the GPB rankings
| Class | Team | GPB rank |
|---|---|---|
| 2A | Bleckley County | No. 4 |
| 3A | Northeast Macon | No. 2 |
| 4A | Peach County | No. 3 |
