Activities 

 

Tutoring

Part of being an Honors student is learning to be a responsible, community conscious adult. One way the Honors Program encourages its members to become such adults is by getting them involved in tutoring. Groups of Honors students tutor local public school students, as well as their peers at the university. For more information about tutoring, contact the Honors Program director, or Brenda Cronan of Lumpkin County Schools at bcronan@lumpkin.k12.ga.us.

Trips

Honors students engage in many fun, out of the classroom, activities as part of their learning experience. In recent years, students have attended plays at the Shakespeare Tavern in Atlanta, viewed art exhibits at the High Museum, visited the Atlanta Symphony, toured the Capitol building, gone caving, zip lining and whitewater rafting, attended sporting events, and participated in academic conferences.  In 2012, we will be the host school for the Georgia Collegiate Honors Council (GCHC) conference.

Community Service

In addition to our commitment to the local school system, the Honors Program hosts blood drives in conjunction with LifeSouth, makes frequent visits to the local animal shelter, and sponsors a Relay For Life team.
