On Thursday, February 13, 2025, State School Superintendent Richard Woods visited SGES to present these prestigious honors, recognizing our educators for their exceptional achievement and growth in both literacy and math. Our school was awarded the Literacy Leader Banner for increasing the number of students reading at or above grade level and the Math Leader recognition for outstanding progress in math proficiency based on the 2023-2024 Georgia Milestones Assessment (GMAS).
Superintendent Woods shared that while earning this recognition for one grade level is an incredible accomplishment, achieving it for three grade levels (3rd, 4th, and 5th) in both reading and math is truly extraordinary. In fact, St. George Elementary is the ONLY elementary school in the entire state of Georgia to receive both the Literacy Leader and Math Leader banners for three grade levels!
To be the ONLY elementary school in the state to receive both of these awards shows the hard work and dedication of every student, parent, teacher, staff and community member.
GO BEARS!
