​At the GA School Psychologist annual conference this week, our Banks County School Psychologist, Amy Pierce, was recognized as the GA School Psychologist of the year! This is quite an accomplishment, and we are extremely fortunate to have Amy as she provides exceptional services to our students, families and staff. Your support of her and our programs are appreciated! Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Pierce!
