Seniors and parents,

Governor Kemp announced the launch of GEORGIA MATCH on October 5th. You can read the official press release here. Seniors who have a Social Security Number and accurate mailing address on file with EHS will receive a GEORGIA MATCH letter in the mail in the next two weeks. Your letter will list the Georgia colleges and technical schools that you meet the admission requirements for. Please note that UGA, Georgia Tech, and Georgia College and State University have chosen not to participate in this program. Your letter will contain information to help you quickly obtain more information about schools on your list that you’re interested in attending. A list of Frequently Asked Questions and Answers is available here. Letters were mailed on October 10th, but the information is also available in your GA Futures Student Dashboard (explained in the FAQ link).

Additionally, November is Apply to College Month in Georgia. Click here to view application fee waiver details for most schools in Georgia!

The Common Black College App allows students to apply to 65 Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) by completing one application and paying $20! This will save time and money for students who are interested in attending an HBCU after high school.

On October 12th, seniors received this packet concerning graduation orders. Orders can be placed online at https://gradnow.com/schools/ (select Evans High School).

All orders and $100 deposits are due by December 1st.

Orders will be delivered to students at EHS on March 29th.

There are many great products available to order! However, the only items required for graduation are:

1. Cap
2. Tassel
3. Gown
4. Gold E Stole

While you may want to purchase a package, you can also scroll to the bottom of the website and click “Shop Individual Items.”

Please let Ms. Rogers or Dr. Woodward know if you have any questions.

Free tutoring is available to all students in grades 9 through 12 via https://www.gatutor.org/.
