Women of STEM at Georgia Tech
Here we are at the Tech Tower, and we went by the lab of Raider graduate Will Stevens. He is a sophomore and is doing undergraduate research in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. He was generous to offer to show us his lab and describe his research to the girls.
My heart was full sharing my alma mater with our Women in STEM. 😊

ROTC Rifle Team Competition
In a recent marksmanship match between NFHS MCJROTC and Glynn Academy MCJROTC, Ayanna Rubio demonstrated her incredible marksmanship prowess.
Ayanna achieved her highest score of the season; an impressive 590.9 out of a possible 600! Her precision and dedication to her craft are truly commendable.
As a committed JROTC cadet, Ayanna has set the bar high and continues to inspire her teammates and fellow cadets. We couldn't be prouder of this young lady's remarkable achievements. This was a very close match between these two Precision teams and Glynn Academy bested the Raiders by only 23 points. Final score: Glynn Academy 2070.1 and North Forsyth: 2047.2
Also contributing in the match for the Raiders was Junior Logan Creviston with 517.8, Sophomore Jon Howell with 498.5, and Senior Bryson McCracken with 440.1
