Based upon the student participation and pass rate in 2020 Advanced Placement exams, three Savannah-Chatham County Public high schools have been named as Georgia s 2021 AP Honor Schools.
Savannah Arts Academy was named to five lists. Jenkins High School was named on three lists, and New Hampstead High School was named on one list.
Jenkins and New Hampstead were both named as AP Access and Support Schools, with at least 30% of the school AP exams taken by students who identified themselves as African-American and/or Hispanic and 30% of all AP exams earning [passing] scores of 3 or higher.

Many within our Black community suffer from chronic sicknesses, like diabetes and heart disease. This is no surprise when so much of the neighborhoods where those Black people live lack sidewalks or any other safe means to travel without an automobile.
Our team working with the Racial & Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Grant is focused on improving the health and increasing the needed resources for Chatham County s low-wealth Black population. We can do this because the grant is awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the partnership of the YMCA of Coastal Georgia and Healthy Savannah. It is a five-year grant, originally awarded in 2019 for $3.4 million. We are in year three of the grant.
