2016SouthPauldingBook_REVISED FINAL

I am honored to welcome everyone on behalf of the students, fac- ulty, and staff of South Paulding High School. Thank you for your support of all of our students and coaches of our fall sports and band program. They make us very proud! At South Paulding High School we are committed to providing a rigorous curriculum where students and teachers work together to prepare all students for future success through a partnership with the home and community. We value the involvement of our stu- dents outside the classroom in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities such as band, cheerleading, clubs, and athletics, as we know leaders are developed through these activities. South Pauld- ing High School not only strives for all of our students to graduate high school on-time, with their class, but also expects that they will be college or career ready after graduation. We want to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to par- ents and community members to be involved and to help us as we educate all of our students and prepare them for future success. If you ever have a question or wish to be more involved with South Paulding High School, reach out to me at krowland@paulding.k12. ga.us. We are here and excited to serve this great community.

Thank you for your support! Sincerely, Dr. Keith Rowland Keith Rowland, Principal

Dear Spartan Fans and Guests, It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I welcome all of you to South Paulding High School and to another exciting season of Spartan Football and athletics. During the 2015 – 2016 athletic season, all athletic teams put forth tremendous efforts in all compe- titions. The efforts by coaches and players resulted in South Paulding winning the Paulding County Superintendents Cup for the 2015 – 2016 school year. The 2016 - 2017 athletic season will put forth many challenges as South Paulding participate in contests against all Paulding Coun- ty High Schools and other schools from surrounding counties. South Paulding High School is now in Region 5 – AAAAAA. The contests that will take place in the 5 – AAAAAA Region will provide excellent and exciting competition as SPHS takes on high schools from Douglas County, Fulton County, Coweta County and Atlanta Public Schools. At South Paulding High School, the athletic department believes in promoting quality character development in all of our student ath- letes. The athletic department at South Paulding High School stresses and instills in student athletes the importance of respect, respon- sibility, good sportsmanship, integrity and competitiveness that is necessary to succeed later in life. Please sit back, relax and cheer on your Spartans. I ask that you en- courage, display and promote good sportsmanship at this and other events at SPHS.
