It's Back to School for Some 3,000 at Norcross High School
Located in the heart of Peachtree Corners, the high school opened its doors on Monday for the 2011-12 year.
Vacation for Norcross High School students came to an end early Monday morning even before the sun came up.
Student-filled buses poured into the front drive at the high school almost before the sun came up with all the fanfare of a non event. On the contrary, it was the return of our young men and women who would once again take up the advancement of their studies eventually leading to an open door to the future of our country.
Just a few nights ago, fireworks lit up the evening sky. This morning’s sky was aglow with the energy of a new generation. Patch.com welcomes and wishes the returning students a new year of success and accomplishment in academic studies, the arts and sports.
