by Mario Herrera on February 8, 2010

A HUGE congratulations to Ms. Lisa Willoughby and the varsity policy debate squad for winning the GHSA A/AA/AAA State title!  Michael Barlow, Holden Choi, Ngoc Vu and Ben Dean competed this past weekend at Marist School for the championship title.  Not only were they named Champions, but the squad was also undefeated!  Additionally, Michael Barlow was named top speaker on the affirmative side and Holden Choi won second-place speaker on the negative side.  Job well done, Grady debaters!

SOUTHSIDE TOURNAMENT CANCELED FOR GRADY HS

by Mario Herrera on February 5, 2010

Due to weather concerns in both North Georgia and South Carolina, we will not be attending the Southside HS tournament in Greenville this weekend. News reports indicated that Virginia has already issued a “state of emergency” and North Carolina has already started canceling school. This decision was made in conjunction with principal Dr. Murray and follows APS guidelines. It is VERY unfortunate, as we were looking quite forward to the tournament and supporting a school that supported us at our tournament. We will keep Southside on our calendar for next year. Please feel free to contact Mario Herrera with any questions and/or concerns.
