Body
Item Summary:
FSA Charter Middle School was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The Blue Ribbon School Program honors public and private K-12 schools for their academic excellence and ability to help students achieve at very high scholastic levels. Fulton Science Academy is the only charter school in the state of Georgia to ever receive this national honor.
The FSA Model United Nations Team won 1st place at the Southeast Model United Nations Competition on November 4, 2011. The Model United Nations was created to provide students of all ages with realistic simulations of the actual United Nations and other international bodies. Students act as the "official spokespeople" of the country they represent and act as diplomats to represent their country's point of view. The FSA will go on to compete nationally in New York in March 2012.
