Milton High School is happy to offer students the ability to exempt their final exams as an academic incentive. Students will be notified the FRIDAY BEFORE THEIR TEST by their teacher if they are able to exempt their test or not. Below you will find the guidelines that determine if you are eligible to exempt a course:

No ISS or OSS during the 2017-2018 school year
90+ average in the class you want to exempt - honors/AP points INCLUDED
End of course tests may not be exempted.

Q&A

What grade levels can exempt? All grade levels.
How many exams may be exempted? As many as the student is eligible to exempt
Can I exempt an End of Course test? No. The EOC is a state mandated exam.
Can I exempt a semester exam in an AP course? Only if you meet the eligibility requirements.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please see your grade-level administrator.

Only students with a displayed valid parking pass are allowed to park on campus. Students without a valid parking pass and/or not parked in their assigned space will be subject to tow.

Parents/visitors who park on campus must park in visitor parking (first two rows on the stadium side) and check in at the front desk. Failure to do so may result in being towed. No one is allowed to park their vehicle anywhere on campus for unofficial school business unless given permission by administration. Failure to get permission may result in your vehicle being towed.

We have very limited parking on campus and we need everyone's cooperation. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Coach Sylvestri at sylvestrig@fultonschools.org
