Gainesville High School has
PLATINUM PRIDE!!
The “Platinum Pride” card is
designed to motivate and reward students for passing all sections
(Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and Writing) of the
Georgia High School Graduation Test on the first attempt.
Although students can pass the test and earn the right to walk at
graduation with a minimum score of 500, the state determines a
school’s AYP (Adequate
Yearly Progress) status from the number of students who score a 516
or higher. In addition, students have multiple attempts to
take and pass the test prior to graduation; however, the school is
measured on how many students are successful on the first attempt in
their junior year.
As a result, AYP at GHS now stands for “Are You Platinum?”
Platinum Pride card recipients have great benefits at GHS and within
the local community.

Platinum Pride additional
requirements:
Earning the Platinum Pride card…the credit they
deserve…is one part of the program; however, keeping
the privilege is another part of the program.
Platinum Pride recipients must remain in good
academic standing and consistently demonstrate
respect, restraint and responsibility at all times.
Students must demonstrate they possess strong
“credit” in the area of academics and behavior.
Students who do not maintain outstanding credit will
have their credit denied…just like the real world!
The Platinum Pride program is solely the
principal’s program. Privileges can be rescinded by
the administration at any time.
