Paulding County High School is a public secondary school located in Paulding County, Georgia, United States. The school was established in 1969 and was the only high school in Paulding County for a quarter of a century. It was established to help end segregation issues in the county, as it is located in the Southeastern United States.
Location
Paulding County High School is located at 1297 Villa Rica Highway (Georgia State Route 61), about 2 miles south of downtown Dallas. It is one of only a few schools that is located on an old battlefield, in particular the Battle of Dallas in 1864 during the Atlanta Campaign.
Programs
Paulding County High School has multiple academic and athletic programs to give students the opportunity to excel beyond their high school career.
Magnet program
The Magnet Program (officially called the Academy of Science, Research, and Medicine) is a program with an accelerated curriculum available to any upcoming freshman in Paulding County, even if the student is districted for another high school. Annually, 60 freshmen who apply for the program are accepted. Despite the acceptance from any school in the county, most of the attending students are districted for Paulding County High School and would have attended the school if not accepted into the magnet program. The Academy opened during 2012-2013 school year.
Band and chorus
The school's marching band (The Pride of Paulding) had 89 members for the 2013-2014 marching season year, a dramatic increase from only 50 in the 2010-2011 marching season. During the spring concert season, the Paulding County High School Concert Band competes in the Georgia Music Educators Association's (GMEA) Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE). Last year, the band was awarded all Superior ratings. During concert season, the Concert Band produces three performances: one winter holiday concert (a joint affair with the school's chorus), one pre-LPGE concert, and another end-of-the school year spring concert.
The chorus produces four concerts a year: a fall concert, a winter holiday concert (jointly with the school's band), a pre-LGPE performance, and an end-of-the-year spring concert. The chorus also attends a LGPE during the spring. All concerts produced by the fine arts music department are free to attend.
Athletics
The Paulding County High School Athletics Programs include soccer, basketball, football, softball, volleyball, track, swimming, tennis, cheer, baseball, wrestling, and golf.
