Collins Hill
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Collins Hill High School, located in Suwanee, Gwinnett County, Georgia, is the largest high school in the state of Georgia. This outstanding characteristic of the school was achieved after five years of existence. Opening in 1994, with a student population of 1377, the school has grown from a 50 acre site to a 70 acre site and reached a peak enrollment of 4200 in September 2002. High expectations for success from the faculty, students, parents and community in academics, athletics and extracurricular activities have shaped Collins Hill in spite of exploding growth. The first Principal is Mr. Coley Krug and their second school Principal Mr. Glenn McFall.
Collins Hill High School 317 faculty and staff members serving their current student body of 3570 students work in a facility complex comprised of three, two story buildings, 150 classrooms and labs, 36 trailer classrooms, 28 offices, a theater, two gymnasiums, 1 large 8000 seat stadium, 3 athletic playing fields, and 2 practice fields. In 2000, the new Collins Hill Aquatic Center, built adjacent to their campus, added an Olympic size swimming pool for use by their students. In their twelve-year history, constant expansion, building additions and then a reduction in student enrollment and staff have necessitated long-range planning, accommodating construction schedules and yearly organizational and managerial changes.
The mission of Collins Hill High School is to pursue excellence in academic knowledge, skills, and behavior by providing meaningful and diverse learning opportunities for preparing their students to meet the challenges of the future as life-long learners and responsible citizens.
