The event, tagged a “Night to Remember,” was held at the Atlanta National Golf Club and featured an elegant dinner, poignant speeches from staff, board members and former parents, and dancing into the wee hours of the night.
According to Laura Finnell, high school principal, “I can’t imagine how many lives they have touched in the last 25 years, not only the families and the students they have helped, but also the staff they have supported and the North Fulton Community as a whole. They have been the strongest example I have known in my 20 year career of educators who understand that every student is a worthwhile investment, and that sometimes you just have to teach the material with a different approach. They have stayed their course, stayed true to their mission and positively impacted all of us in the process”.
