Maya Milton, 2010 Salutatorian at Charlton County High School, received the Georgia Association of Special Programs Personnel (GASPP) academic scholarship. The winners were announced at the annual spring conference held in Columbia, South Carolina recently. She will attend Georgia State University this fall. Her sponsor for the GASPP scholarship was Mrs. Juan Johnson, Educational Talent Search Counselor at Concerted Services, Inc. in Waycross.
Educational Talent Search (ETS) is an outreach and early intervention program that serves 1,050 participants in middle and high schools in the Waycross and Reidsville areas. The purpose of the program is to motivate and encourage low-income, first generation students to pursue post-secondary education. The program also helps individuals who have dropped out of high school to receive assistance in enrolling in GED courses.
ETS is a Trio program funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education and is locally sponsored by Concerted Services, Inc. There is no fee charged to individual students or their families.
Students that attend school in Atkinson, Bacon, Brantley, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Pierce or Ware County should contact Juan Johnson or Patti White, ETS counselors at 912-285-6083 for more information.
