Are you interested in the MAGNET Programs offered in Cobb?

The Cobb County School District recognizes that students who demonstrate exceptional potential in a specific area may benefit from a specialized program. Cobb’s magnet programs allow students to pursue their interests, develop their talents, and extend their competencies beyond the usual scope of high school.
During fall semester, eighth grade students at each district middle school are provided information about all magnet programs. On September 8, all 8 grade students will view the magnet presentation at PMMS. Due to limited space at each program, students are selected through a highly-competitive, rigorous application process. Applications to academic magnets are due in early December. Performing arts candidates participate in an application/audition process during spring semester.
The district provides arterial transportation for students attending magnet programs. Interested students and parents should go online or contact program coordinators for more information.

Kennesaw Mountain High School students and counselors will visit our 8th grade students on 
Feb.13th at 9:30-10:30 am. During this visit, they will present an overall view of high school courses, sports and clubs. 
 
Kennesaw Mountain High School Spring Orientation is scheduled for 
February 13th @ 6 pm. This is a great opportunity for parents and students to connect with the high school’s programs and staff.
 
All 8th grade students are invited to join us on a field trip (permission slips already distributed) to Kennesaw Mountain High School on February 14th for a half day of CTAE course previews. Students will be able to preview 6-8 elective courses. This is a great introduction to the HS Elective Registration for our rising 9th grade students. Each student will receive an elective form to review with their parents and begin the electronic registration process. Registration closes on March 6th.
