Welcome from the Superintendent
Welcome
to the
2024-25 school year! I’m Mitch Young, and I’m honored to be your superintendent.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to former superintendent Dr. Jeff Bearden for his exceptional leadership over the past decade. He has been a remarkable mentor, leader, and friend.
I am dedicated to working closely with members of the Governance Team, school leaders, teachers, staff, parents/guardians, students, and community members to realize the objectives set forth in Forsyth County Schools’ Strategic Plan. It is our roadmap for providing all students an unparalleled education and establishing a safe, connected, and thriving community for all stakeholders.
I am eager to meet you throughout this academic year, whether it’s at our schools or within the community. Originally from Pennsylvania, I have spent

Forsyth County News is honored to continue its partnership with Forsyth County Schools and bring you the annual State of Schools magazine.
As the county continues
the majority of my adult life in the southern United States. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and hold a Master’s degree from the University of Georgia, where I am currently pursuing my Doctorate.
Before joining Forsyth County, I taught social studies and coached varsity basketball in Gwinnett County Public Schools. Prior to relocating to Georgia, I gained experience in collegiate men’s basketball, serving as a graduate assistant at Florida State University, director of basketball operations at DePaul University, and assistant coach at Saint Francis University.
During my tenure in Forsyth County, I have served on the board of directors at the United Way of Forsyth and Leadership Forsyth. Since 2014, I have also been an active member of the Rotary Club of Forsyth County. My wife, Nashlee, a Georgia native, and I are proud parents of two children who graduated from Forsyth County Schools.
I look forward to a productive and inspiring year ahead!
Sincerely,
Mitch Young Superintendent
Letter from the Editor
to grow, so does our school system and the opportunities it provides for our children.
Our youth are among the most valuable resources found in our community, and it is of the utmost importance to provide them with an education that will not only provide them with the basic building blocks but will go steps further to prepare them for college or career upon graduation.
Forsyth County Schools has done this year after year, and as it transitions from one superintendent to another,
we are confident there will be more innovation and learning growth for the children in this community.
It is our hope at Forsyth County News that you find this magazine helpful in getting ready for the start of a new school year and will continue to turn to it for useful information as the year progresses.
Inside the pages of the 2024-25 State of Schools magazine, you will find information ranging from programs offered, to leaders and administration, to the
annual school calendar and much more.
Our wish for everyone in the district – bus drivers, support staff, teachers, administrators, students and of course, parents – is to have a wonderful school year! We look forward to sharing inspiring stories of the outstanding educators and students in upcoming publications of the Forsyth County News.
Sincerely,
Michelle Hall Managing Editor

The 2023-24 school year was a great one for the Forsyth County Education Foundation with the continuation of successful programs and the addition of several opportunities to support students and teachers.
School Grants: Over $109,000 in grants were presented last fall on #FoundationFriYAY to 21 schools/district departments for a variety of projects and programs ranging from robotics and virtual reality to book vending machines and wellness initiatives.
Our 42 schools/programs received $58,000 in grants for school supplies on Quackentine’s Day, funded from Publix Tools for Back-to-School campaign. The fifth annual Duck Dive for Education raised over $127,000 for school grants in April. Thank you to the event sponsors and the 8,280 duck adopters for making this a success! The #FCSDuck, Splash, will present the 2024 grants on August 23 (#FoundationFriYAY).
Staff Scholarships and Grants: In October the Foundation held the second annual Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow iChallenge to raise funds for staff scholarships. Because of the support of iChallenge sponsors and participations, 17 current FCS employees received $1,500 scholarships to pursue a teaching or counseling degree.
The first Fueling the Future! First Year Teacher Grants were presented to four new teachers last year. Thank you to our sponsor, Mark Heard Fuel Company.
Student Scholarships: Since November 2022, the Foundation has partnered with the Denmark family for the Dr. Leila Denmark Memorial Student Scholarship. Donations are accepted for this scholarship fund, and the first 310 individuals who make a $114 taxdeductible donation to the scholarship will receive a brick from the former Hansard House/Dr. Denmark’s Office with a commemorative plaque.
In January 2024, the Foundation partnered with The FoCAL Center to present the first Penguin Project Mentor Scholarships to three FCS students. In May 2024, Hendricks Middle School and the Foundation announced the Cheryl Riddle NEST Scholarship to be given to an FCS senior who completed eighth grade at Hendricks MS. This scholarship honors Mrs. Riddle, the school’s first principal, who retired in 2024.
Families in Need: Dining with Dignity is an opportunity for the community to make donations to be placed in the school’s cafeteria house account to provide students with a hot meal of their choice.

LITERACY LEGISLATION – HB 538 and SB 48
In a concerted effort to bolster educational outcomes and ensure a strong reading foundation for all students, Georgia has taken action with the introduction of House Bill 538 and Senate Bill 48 addressing the critical issue of literacy.
Recognizing literacy as the cornerstone of academic success and lifelong learning, these bills outline multifaceted strategies to strengthen literacy instruction and support systems from early childhood through high school. At the heart of HB 538 and SB 48 is an effort to target foundational literacy skills during the formative years by allocating resources for evidence-based literacy practices and providing early intervention.
Within Forsyth County Schools, there has been a concerted effort to align our instructional approach and curriculum with the growing body of research referred to as the science of reading and structured literacy. Over the past few years, we have developed a collective culture of strengthening instructional practices. Our instructional decisions have been rooted in a comprehensive, structured, explicit, and cumulative approach to teaching the concepts and skills of reading.
Senate Bill 48 provides for the identification of and support for students in kindergarten through third grade with characteristics of dyslexia. In Forsyth County, all students in grades K-5 will participate in universal screening for foundational reading skills three times a year. Further dyslexia screening is available for students exhibiting deficits in phonological and phonemic awareness, soundsymbol recognition, alphabet knowledge, decoding, fluency, and encoding. Evidence-based interventions and structured multisensory approaches to teaching language and reading skills will be utilized for those students in need of an intervention plan. Most importantly, parent communication and involvement will be prioritized.
Equally paramount is the provision of professional development opportunities for educators, equipping them with the pedagogical expertise and resources needed to effectively teach literacy across disciplines. This school year, all our elementary teachers will complete an accredited 25-hour program through the Georgia Literacy Academy in partnership with the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy. Additionally, every school has staff members who have completed their Dyslexia Endorsement, and interventionists at each school have received specialized training in Wilson Reading.
By prioritizing literacy as the foundation for academic success, we are not only equipping students with essential skills but also fostering a culture of lifelong learning. The proactive measures taken within Forsyth County Schools underscore our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of every learner, particularly those with dyslexia, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.
