The high school's boys lacrosse team, fresh from winning their own state title, came straight to Milton Stadium.
What do you do when you've won the state title as AAAAA boys lacrosse champions? That was easy for the Milton Eagles. They came home from defeating Lassiter in overtime to cheer the Lady Eagles on to victory in their state title soccer match. The freshly crowned boys lacrosse team arrived at Milton High School's stadium at halftime in the girls soccer match against Northview. Victory was far from certain at that point. After being cheered on by Milton fans celebrating their win over Lassiter, the boys began to chant and cheer for the Lady Eagles, who seemed happy to see Milton's second state champs of the day on hand. The Lady Eagles took charge in the final 40 minutes, keeping on the attack and using strong defense to keep the Northview …

Crabapple Crossing Elementary School's Field Day 2012 ended up in space, with help from a parent volunteer who created the Crabapple Crossing High Altitude Balloon Project. Scott Dunbar said he started the project almost a year ago. "I had seen something on the Internet where a dad and his son sent a weather balloon up with a video camera in it, and posted the video to YouTube. I have been the “science lab guy” at Crabapple Crossing as a volunteer for some time now, and thought this would be an interesting project to get the kids interested in science," Dunbar said in the story he submitted to Patch. "I have been fortunate enough to meet many influential scientists through my years at Georgia Tech and in business. Each one of them has a …

Fitch Ratings again has downgraded the rating on the $18.9 million in bonds for Fulton Science Academy to "CC" from "B," according to BusinessWire. Fulton Science Academy Middle School's failure to get either a charter renewal from Fulton County or a state charter led to the downgrade of the Development Authority of Alpharetta educational facilities revenue bonds. Fitch said in the release that lack of management cooperation left it unable to determine if the middle school's proposed conversion to a private school was feasible, and its possible effects on the Fulton Sunshine Academy and Fulton Science Academy High School. All three schools are obligated for the bonds. Fitch won't be issuing analysis or further ratings because Fulton …

Help me out here. FSA is denied a charter by the county and the state. Fitch bond rating agency has de-rated the $20 million FSA bonds to CC as the FSA management refuses to cooperate. According to Fitch, default appears probable. Millions of dollars are unaccounted for. Construction has stopped on the new school, leaving acres of raw dirt.
