Floyd County Schools named Georgia Charter System of the Year

Floyd County Schools was named Georgia Charter System of the Year on Wednesday in Athens during the annual Georgia Charter System Conference. The honor recognized the district’s focus on innovation and its ability to deliver a community-centered culture. A charter system is similar to a charter school but on a larger scale, with similar flexibility to reshape its organizational identity, maximize academic efforts, modernize communication channels and unite the district under a shared collaborative front. “We really see this as a teacher award because it’s driven by them,” FCS Assistant Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer John Parker said. “It’s about their focus and dedication every day in the classroom, and how they are helping educate our students.” In addition to receiving the award, FCS leadership presented a featured session, “Success Is Not an Accident,” at the conference, highlighting how aligned strategy and intentional dialogue drive long-term district progress. “Charter flexibility gives us the structure to innovate, but true progress happens when every school and community partner moves together as one unified front,” Parker said. “We used our charter status as an opportunity to rebrand who we are around a single, shared purpose: fostering community success.” There are three different types

After incredible winning streak, Windsor Knights ready for playoffs

There are summer doldrums, no matter what, for football teams. Those with high expectations and veteran leadership have something in common with teams that don’t: summer is a grind, with varying levels of payoff. Dylan Bass was going through a summer slump while watching his Windsor football players work — or try to work, rather. “We had a very, very slow start to the summer,” he said. “To the point where it was probably one of the most stressful, if not the most stressful summer, since I’ve been coaching.” The fourth-year head coach — and Windsor grad — was not overflowing with optimism as to what 2026 would hold. “I wasn’t sure if we would win a game,” he said. “Then we added a few pieces, the guys kept working. When we started, it was, ‘Man, if we can just get a winning season …’” Boy, was he wrong. And happily so. Summer got better, and transitioned into a magical fall for the Knights. While it’s a miniscule field, Windsor is the top seed in the four-team GIAA Class A playoffs that start on Friday, with the Knights hosting winless Robert Toombs Academy with a trip to the title game

Students help transform Jackson for ‘Stranger Things’ event

JACKSON — Southern Crescent Technical College (SCTC) Film Technology students helped transform downtown Jackson into an immersive “Stranger Things”-inspired environment for the Welcome to Hawkins Weekend held Oct. 2 to 4. The project marked the Film Technology Program’s third year collaborating with the Butts County Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Jacqueline McKoon, president and CEO. Jackson’s historic downtown square is well known to fans of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” as a filming location for the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. This year, students and instructors drew inspiration from Season 5’s Military Access Control Zone (MAC-Z), creating a military-themed quarantine setting and a dramatic passageway leading to the eerie alternate dimension known as the Upside Down. The student-centered project immersed participants in the art department side of production, providing hands-on experience from concept development and preproduction through set design, scenic construction, fabrication, practical effects, lighting, set dressing and installation. Students created military-style signage, weathered barricades, perimeter fencing, prop equipment, creature elements, atmospheric lighting and an illuminated portal to bring the concept to life. Working toward a fixed public event deadline requires them to apply not only technical skills but also collaboration, troubleshooting, resource management and adaptability, according to SCTC. The
