School Safety @ Roswell High School
School safety at Roswell High School is of paramount importance as it directly affects the well-being and overall development of students, teachers, and staff. Ensuring a safe learning environment is essential for creating a conducive atmosphere for education, growth, and personal development. Here are some key reasons highlighting the importance of school safety:
- Physical and Emotional Well-being: A safe school environment protects students, teachers, and staff from physical harm, reducing the likelihood of accidents, injuries, or violent incidents. Feeling safe emotionally is equally vital, as students who feel secure are more likely to engage in learning and express themselves without fear.
- Learning and Academic Success: When students and educators are not preoccupied with concerns about safety, they can focus more effectively on teaching and learning. A secure environment fosters better concentration, participation, and engagement, leading to improved academic outcomes.
- Positive School Climate: Safety contributes to the creation of a positive school climate where students feel respected, valued, and supported. Such an atmosphere encourages healthy relationships, open communication, and collaboration among students, teachers, parents, and administrators.
- Preventing Bullying and Harassment: An emphasis on school safety includes addressing issues like bullying, harassment, and discrimination. Implementing anti-bullying programs and strategies helps cultivate a culture of respect and tolerance, reducing negative behaviors that can harm students' mental and emotional well-being.
- Parental Confidence: Parents and guardians are more likely to entrust their children to an educational institution that prioritizes safety. Knowing that their children are in a secure environment gives parents peace of mind and confidence in the school's ability to protect their children.
In conclusion, school safety is a multifaceted concept that goes beyond physical security. It encompasses emotional well-being, academic success, positive relationships, and preparedness for emergencies. Prioritizing school safety creates an environment where students can thrive, educators can excel, and the entire school community can flourish.

The Georgia Tech Women in Engineering Program
The Georgia Tech Women in Engineering Program is excited to announce that registration is open for our annual Engineering Career Conference (ECC) – our STEM outreach program for young women who are current junior and senior high school students!
ECC is designed to give high school girls knowledge and information about the eleven engineering disciplines offered at Georgia Tech to help them decide if they'd like to study engineering in college, and, if so, which type of engineering is best for them.
This year's ECC will be held on Thursday, October 19, 2023 from 8:30AM to 4:00PM in Georgia Tech’s Exhibition Hall.
Over the course of a day, prospective female students have the opportunity to hear directly from Georgia Tech's world-renowned faculty and current Tech students about the various engineering majors offered at GT. In addition, attendees have the chance to meet with a GT Admissions Counselor to find out about the admissions process and the academic requirements necessary to be successful in the engineering undergraduate programs.
The non-refundable registration fee for ECC is $40, which covers all materials as well as breakfast and lunch for all attendees of the program. Scholarships are available for those who need one.
The application link may be found here. There is also a QR code in the attached flyer so students! Applications will be open until September 10th.
