Programs

Magnet program

Despite the acceptance from any school in the county, most of the attending students are districted for Paulding County High School and would have attended the school if not accepted into the magnet program.

The band was recently awarded all Superior ratings. During concert season, the Concert Band produces four performances: a fall concert occurring in late October to early November, one winter holiday concert (a joint affair with the school's chorus), one pre-LGPE concert, and another end-of-the school year spring concert.

The chorus produces four concerts every year: a fall concert, a winter holiday concert (jointly with the school's band), a pre-LGPE performance, and an end-of-the-year spring concert.
