State Recognition for Positive School Culture
Winn Holt Elementary was awarded Operational Status by the Georgia Department of Education for our successful implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). This approach recognizes and rewards students who consistently demonstrate positive behavior, helping build a respectful and encouraging school environment.
Custodial Excellence—A Record-Setting Streak
Our Head Custodian was named GCPS Head Custodian of the Year at the district’s annual recognition breakfast—for the 25th consecutive year! She holds the district record for the longest streak of this prestigious honor, reflecting her unwavering commitment to keeping our school clean, safe, and welcoming.
Inspiring Futures at Career Day
In March, Winn Holt hosted an exciting Career Day featuring a diverse group of professionals, including doctors, lawyers, authors, community service members, professional athletes, and even the Mayor of Lawrenceville. Students gained valuable insight into various careers and how to achieve their future goals.
National Recognition for Student Artistry
Fourth grade students took part in a poster contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Centered on the theme “Sailing with the Stars and Stripes to Celebrate the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps,” one student’s poster won first place at the regional, state, and national levels. He will be recognized at an upcoming GCPS Board of Education meeting.
Young Authors in the Making
Select fourth and fifth graders joined our school’s Writing Club, where they explored storytelling and had the opportunity to submit their original works for publication. One talented student’s book was selected for publication and is now available for purchase on Amazon and through the publishing company.
A Vibrant After-School Experience
Winn Holt offers a wide variety of after-school clubs led by passionate staff sponsors, providing students with enriching and creative experiences. Club offerings include Academic Competition, Chorus, Honor Chorus, Orff Instrumental Ensemble, Drama, International Club, Peer Leaders, Photography, and Robotics.
Leading with Compassion
Our Peer Leaders made a big impact through service initiatives this year. In the fall, they organized a successful non-perishable food drive for a local pantry. In the spring, they hosted a “Love of Literacy” event, collecting gently used books for classroom libraries and community Little Free Libraries, including one at our school!
All Pro Dads—Engaging Families
The Winn Holt chapter of All Pro Dads had a fantastic year, with strong participation at monthly meetings. The group also hosted two well-attended family events at Dave & Buster’s and Johnny’s Pizza, helping foster meaningful connections between fathers and their children.
A Celebration of the Arts
Our Drama, Art, and Music departments collaborated to produce and present two memorable performances this year. These cross-disciplinary showcases beautifully demonstrated the strength of arts education in the Central Cluster, combining creativity, talent, and teamwork across all areas of the performing and visual arts.
Winn Holt Scholars Compete
The Winn Holt Academic Competition Club consists of a group of students from grades 2 to 5. At the beginning of the year, these students challenged themselves by taking part in an international qualifying exam in history, science, and geography. Those who received a qualifying score earned the privilege to compete in the Regional Finals, which is a buzzer-based event. Over a span of four months, students devoted their time to practice after school and study at home. At the competition, they faced off against other elementary schools in Georgia and Tennessee. Winn Holt took home numerous first, second, and third-place medals and many qualifying to compete at the national level and even some at the international level!
