"We are very proud of our team at Garrison-Pilcher Elementary for earning the distinction as a Reward School," said Superintendent Dr. Lisa Williams. "The students, teachers, support staff, administrators, and parents have worked hard to reach great heights, and we take enormous pride in the fact that they are being recognized for their academic excellence."

“While we are focused on continuous improvement for all schools, it’s also essential that we recognize when schools are doing well,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said in a GaDOE press release. “These schools are overcoming barriers, meeting challenges, and producing great gains for their students. I commend the school leaders, teachers, parents and communities in our 2019-20 Reward Schools who are opening up opportunities for their students.”
