IB Diplomas Have Arrived!

Class of 2014 diplomas, certificates, and score reports (i.e. official transcripts, if your schools need them) are here! Ms. Adams has them in folders in 9B (the IB office) ready for pickup. If you come to school to get them, please email her at rebecca.adams@cobbk12.org to let her know when you will be here. You will need to check in through the main office and let them know why you are on campus.

We will hold on to your diplomas all year long (and beyond), so if you have to wait until a fall break or a major holiday later in the year to come get it, that's not a problem. You cannot pick up a diploma for someone else--we need to make sure they get right into your hands. Of course, a parent can come and get it--please ask them to email Ms. Adams to let her know in advance.

Thanks and congratulations on delivering some of the best and most impressive results in the history of our program! This year's seniors are feeling the pressure to match you already! We hope all of you are headed into a great first year of college.

There is a free event happening next Saturday, August 23rd at the High Museum of Atlanta, and it is open to all students interested in cars and design.  We always try to merge architecture with some interesting design industry.  This year the event is married to the "Dream Cars" exhibit with a lecture by some of the premier car designers.  It is open to students K-12.  Museum admission for parents and teachers is 1/2 off.

It's basically a day where students receive a lecture, design and build models of their projects alongside mentor architects.  The older students are given more challenging assignments.  Online registration is strongly encouraged.  Feel free to reach out to Missy Bower of the American Institute of Architects for any questions you might have, 404-222-9913 xt 103.
