DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL
OPENING NEW DOORS Four new schools mark start of school year By Keith Farner

LAWRENCEVILLE — John Campbell jokes that opening a school is kind of like birthing a baby. Next month will be the third time in his career that’s he’s opened a school as principal, and since they’ve been several years apart, Campbell said he forgets the immediate experience and
how hard it was until he goes through it again. “Then you see the joy and pleasure you have with your child,” said Campbell, who opened McConnell Middle School in 1996 and Osborne Middle School in 2004. “You can see where there’s enough time in between where I kind of forgot how hard it was.” In his 41st year in education, Campbell is set to open the new Discovery
High School in Lawrenceville in August. Given that long career, Campbell received two different reactions from his wife and Gwinnett Schools CEO/ Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks. His wife was blunt: “What are you doing?” she asked. Wilbanks, however, asked Campbell if he could commit to 10 years, to which Campbell simply laughed. “I should be retired according to
most people, this would be the appropriate time to retire,” Campbell said. “I get a renewed purpose in doing this stuff. I need to work. I love it. I love being able to make a difference. This is a big, big job and I thought, ‘What a great way to end my career.’” Perfectly comfortable at Osborne, Campbell said he could have coasted See SCHOOLS, Page 4C

spotlight on education Diverse Summerour moves to new building, programs By Keith Farner
keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com
NORCROSS — The condominium community is no more. When students arrive at the new Summerour Middle School next month, they won’t see the 12 trailers that last year served as classrooms for gifted students in a school that swelled to 1,580 students. Now the school — formerly in a building which opened in the early 1960s — is at a new address within eyesight of the old tract. The new 240,000 square foot building, a one-of-akind design in Gwinnett County with body-sensored heating and air conditioning systems, cost $23.69 million to build, offers views of Stone Mountain on a clear day. A state-of-the-art media center, broadcasting studio and wider hallways are among the first things visitors notice. “This new building is like a shot in the arm to this community,” Principal Dorothy Jarrett said. “Let’s face it, there’s a certain sense of pride that comes along with a new building. It elevates your pride in your school, and elevates the pride in the community.” The group of trailers, which Jarrett jokingly labeled with that nickname, didn’t make the move to the old Norcross High School site at 321 Price Place. The school expects to welcome 1,621 students on Aug. 10, and they’ll be fed from Stripling Elementary School, Beaver Ridge Elementary School and Norcross Elementary School. The school will host a “meet your teacher” and

see the new school event on Aug. 6, and Jarrett said it will be crazy. “But we are ready for the crazy; it’s an exciting crazy,” she said, and added that Aug. 3 will feature an event where teachers will board school buses from 1 to 4 p.m. and go out in the community to meet students and families. “I want my teachers to see where my kids live. I want them to get a better understanding of where they’re coming from, because the most important thing for teachers is to build relationships with kids, and the more you know about your kids, the more you’re going to build great relationships and be able to influence them to work hard.” The highly diverse school has about 65 percent Hispanic students and 25 percent African-American students, while 95 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This has led Jarrett to pursue a “90/90/90” goal, meaning the school has 90 percent
minorities, 90 percent poverty, but scoring 90 percent achievement in measured core academic results. “That whole free and reduced lunch thing? That’s how they eat. That’s not how they learn,” Jarrett said. Jarrett actually occupied the building earlier than expected because of summer school and a student ambassador program while construction crews continued to work. One of the highlights of the school is a new outdoor garden behind the school that’s already produced a harvest from nearly 10 fruits and vegetables. The school also will have Gwinnett’s first standardized uniform dress code, which Jarrett said is designed to improve focus and, in turn, academic results. The dress code will be navy blue, white or light blue Polo-style shirts and black, navy or khaki pants with belts required. It’s been recommended, but not required, at the
school for the previous three years. Jarrett presented to district leaders academic research of grades improving and behavior issues diminishing. “That culture of excellence also has to do with ‘What does that professional student look like,’” Jarrett said. “We know from research that when students are dressed for success, they do better in school. … When all of the attention is taken off of who has on what … we’re taking that out of the mix. We’re focusing on teaching and learning.” Jarrett said parents had requested that she make the dress code mandatory so their children wouldn’t argue with them about what clothes to wear. The school offers packages of four Polo-style shirts, two bottoms and a sweater for $100. The school also has several unique classroom or learning areas, including two computer labs, a state of the art Innovation

Thirteen new schools to open with new principals By Keith Farner

The new school year also means new faces in the principal’s chair in 13 schools across Gwinnett County. The four brand-new schools will have experienced Gwinnett principals who have led other Gwinnett schools, including John Campbell at Discovery High School, who has more than four decades of experience in education, including previous roles as principal at McConnell Middle School and Osborne Middle School. Campbell, the longesttenured principal in Gwinnett, came from Osborne Middle, which he opened in 2004. Campbell’s Gwinnett career started in 1982 as a counselor at Parkview High, and throughout the 1980s,

into retirement, but the challenge that Discovery offered, including an academy model of learning, along with personal finance and entrepreneurship curriculum from Junior Achievement, was too appealing for Campbell to pass up. “My level of commitment is I’m here now and I’ll give it everything I’ve got, and I’ll do that for as long as I’m here,” Campbell said. Campbell has two grandsons and two granddaughters on the way, and one commitment his wife required of him this summer when he took the job was to take one week off to spend time with family at the beach. In August, Campbell and three other principals will open four new schools across the county, including three in Lawrenceville and one in Norcross. The construction equipment and hard hats are on their way out. The temporary blue paint, paper signs and piles of empty boxes are headed for the recycling and trash bins. Discovery creates the district’s 19th cluster of schools which welcomes students from a set attendance zone that will relieve Central Gwinnett and Berkmar high schools. Opening new schools has become commonplace in Gwinnett as the district has generally grown by a couple thousand students each year over the last decade except at the height of the Recession. “The district has become increasingly efficient with its management pieces,” Campbell said. Many of the principals and teachers in the new schools said a fresh start, and the chance to create a school’s culture from the beginning were among the reasons they chose to work at their school. At Graves Elementary, for example, there’s a program called “G-DART” which integrates dance, art, rhythm and theatre. At Jordan Middle, the curriculum will be deployed using a “gradual release” format where a teacher performs a given topic, and then moves into guided instruction. The school also has a music technology component. Baggett Elementary will offer Spanish. At Discovery, perhaps the most publicized of the new schools, students from across the county beginning in middle school will learn personal finance
• Gwinnett transports more than 129,429 students twice a day, the third largest transporter of students in the country. • Gwinnett operates more than 1,926 school buses • Gwinnett runs 7,903 routes per day • Gwinnett has 52,232 bus stops • Gwinnett drives more than 132,000 miles per day (more than 30 round trips to Los Angeles per day)

and entrepreneurial skills, including creating and running a viable business through a partnership with Junior Achievement. Local businesses have also contributed sponsorships and employees volunteering their time. Many of the principals and their staff were ready to enter the building as soon as possible, and some began working before construction crews were finished in June or early July. Clayborn Knight, the principal at Graves, said the school has almost been a second home as he’s worked there six, or sometimes, seven days a week. And some days, he’s asked his staff to leave at 7 p.m. so Knight himself could go home.
“It’s exciting because what’s different about opening this type of school is the excitement, everybody’s feeling it,” Knight said. “The staff has wanted to be here all along. They’re giving up their time because they are excited about the activity.” That work ethic was similar at Baggett where Principal Charlotte Sadler held a “Moonlight Madness Move-in” event where the idea was to work through the night as soon as the building was available. But when just four staff members remained at about 2:45 a.m., Sadler sent them home. While many of the schools have a diverse staff from across Gwinnett,
Knight has teachers coming from San Antonio, Phoenix, Indiana and New Jersey. While hiring from around the country is one thing the four new principals have in common, they’re also aware of growing pains and adjustments to moving into a new building. It could be how to order another product for a teacher, report a leaking air-conditioner or checking a reference on a new hire as Knight did on Wednesday. All of it points, eventually, to Aug. 10, after the teacher orientations and “meet your teacher” and teacher training events are in the rearview mirror. “It’s building,” Campbell said. “The excitement is building.”

GCPS enters second year of academies, language immersion By Keith Farner
keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com
In March, South Gwinnett High School invited more than 60 outsiders to its school. The hope was that the professionals in a range of fields and industries would offer valuable feedback to students in a new kind of learning format introduced last year across Gwinnett County Public Schools. The students spent five weeks working in groups in two-hour blocks on Wednesday afternoons to develop skills their teachers hope they one day use in a work environment. Students were asked to develop a project based on criteria that matched their academy, including examples such as a business plan, sustainability or biological warfare. The hope for teachers was the “authentic audience” would offer a new perspective and the judges would have different expectations than the teachers. South Gwinnett was one of five schools last year that launched College and Career Academies. They are designed to give students a glimpse into a post-high school college or career path, and the ability to job shadow or pursue internships. They also have the chance to conduct project-based learning, which is a kind of learning where students solve a problem by collaborating with peers. While Central Gwinnett, Lanier, Meadowcreek and Shiloh high
Gwinnett School Board member Carole Boyce, far left, Trip Elementary Principal Rukina Walker, State School Superintendent Richard Woods and State Board of Education member Mike Royal prepare to talk on the morning announcements during a visit this spring at Trip Elementary. The officials visited the school to learn more about its French-English dual language immersion program that began this school year with kindergarteners.

schools launched academies last year, the district this year is rolling out those formats to Berkmar and the new Discovery High School.
The academy model also offers local businesses an avenue to partner with a school through employee volunteers, job shadowing, internships or
other sponsorships. Discovery’s facility will also include the new Junior Achievement Discovery Center at Gwinnett, which will provide Gwin-
nett middle-schoolers with hands-on programs in consumer education and personal finance. A popular new program for three elementary schools will enter its second year, as Trip, Annistown and Bethesda elementary schools will offer a dual language immersion program for kindergarteners. The schools will expand this year because last year’s kindergarten students will continue their language skill development in first grade. Annistown and Bethesda elementary schools offer English-Spanish programs while Trip Elementary offers an English-French program. In December, Jon Valentine, director of foreign language for GCPS, said students were already showing production of the new language, meaning they can write it. Typically, listening and speaking come first when learning a foreign language “The students are beating expectations for every goal that we’ve set,” Valentine said. “Our goal at this point is to find out why, so we can replicate it and support it.” Representatives from the French Consulate visited Trip in December, and several state education leaders, including State School Superintendent Richard Woods, visited Trip in April. The popularity of the program meant 25 students last year were put on a waiting list, but since none of the current students left the program, the students on the waiting
list couldn’t join. Virin Vedder, who previously was an assistant principal at Trip and is now a foreign language instructional coach at the district level, said students on the waiting list wouldn’t have the knowledge base to join the program in first grade. With more than two dozen students already signed up to join the program in August, the challenge for administrators and district leaders is finding enough qualified applicants to fill the teaching positions for the growing program. To teach in an elementary dual language immersion program, teachers must be certified to teach early childhood education, but also be fluent in the foreign language. That yields a very small pool of applicants. Valentine previously worked at the Georgia Department of Education and said he’s envisioned a Korean dual language immersion program in Troup County because of the Kia plant there. He added that he has a friend who works in Wyoming where a Chinese program is offered. “If Wyoming can have a Chinese dual immersion school,” Valentine said, “anybody can have a dual immersion school.” When the program started, Valentine said it was designed with help from the business community that believes that Gwinnett is a destination for international companies, and they need a globally competitive workforce.
