Two Gwinnett school board members speak out on retention bonuses

Two Gwinnett County school board members are, in their individual capacities, addressing teachers concerns on the retention bonuses that educators found out they would not receive this week. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan and Board member Rachel Stone reiterated Gwinnett County Public Schools’ stance that the bonuses were always contingent on whether the district received funding from the state to pay the teachers. They were quick to point out they were not speaking on behalf of the entire board, however. “Right now, social media is full of anger, rumors, and half-truths,” Johnson-Morgan said. “Some of it comes from real pain. Some of it is meant to divide us: teachers against leaders, and neighbors against public schools.” GCPS officials told teachers on Monday that they would not receive retention bonuses this year because there was no funding to pay for it. The announcement quickly took off on social media after district officials accidentally sent it to parents as well as educators. District officials told the Daily Post that the message, which was signed by Chief Financial Officer Masana Mailliard and Interim Chief Human Resources J.W. Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on

Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

Collins Hill fights into playoffs for Round 1 meeting with unbeaten Newton

After an 0-4 start in non-region play, Collins Hill couldn’t afford any missteps over its final six football games if it wanted to crack the top 32 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and earn a state playoff spot. The Eagles needed to keep winning and did just that, going 5-1 down the stretch (the lone loss was to 10-0, defending state champion Buford). They beat Region 8-AAAAAAA’s lower tier teams and topped the two teams also in the postseason discussion — 52-40 over Dacula and 42-34 over Mill Creek. Game 10 wasn’t as much of a test for Collins Hill, which rolled to a 56-6 win over Discovery last week. Jamel Tuff caught four passes — three for touchdowns — for 103 yards, and Kevin Hughes had four catches for 67 yards and two TDs. Johnny Paulk provided a spark with two punt returns for 69 yards. Solomon Thomas (11 tackles, two for losses, three QB hurries, sack, interception) and Christian Fleming (four tackles, one for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery) were among the defensive standouts last week. Those region wins were good enough to get Class AAAAAAA’s No. 31 seed out of 32 for Friday’s

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history. Plans call for the construction of 36 additional apartments on its campus, increasing its residential capacity from 30 to 66 families. Beyond expanding its housing options, the federal funding will help strengthen the organization’s programs, services and infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of families it serves. “Too many Georgia families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs, making the need for affordable housing increasingly urgent,” Warnock said. “I’m glad this federal funding is going towards Rainbow Village Inc. to support the construction of transitional housing for Georgians experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County. Affordable housing provides

Shiloh draws huge state test in reigning state champion Creekside

In its return to the state football playoffs, Shiloh faces a tall task in Round 1. The Generals travel Friday night to play at Creekside, last year’s Class AAAA state champion after a 15-0 season. The Seminoles, who haven’t lost to a Georgia team since falling to Marist in the 2024 state semifinals, are 9-1 this season after reeling off nine straight wins since a season-opening loss to Clay-Chalkville (Ala.). Quarterback Savoy Nichols, a 6-foot-6, 205-pound dual threat, leads a balanced Creekside offense with 2,061 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Tarleton State (Texas) commit is joined in the backfield by several playmakers led by Clemson commit Gary Walker (927 rushing yards, 15 TDs) and Branden Wiley (580 rushing yards, 12 TDs). Five Creekside receivers have at least four TD catches, including Boston College commit Armani Hill (19-478-7). Other standouts on the loaded Creekside roster include Alabama commit Darrius White and Tennessee commit Carter Jamison at defensive back, Auburn commit Jaylon Moore (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) at offensive line and Colorado commit Kenny Fairley at defensive line. A run-heavy Shiloh offense must find a way to crack a talented defense. The unit leans heavily on its line and senior running back
