I am proud to call each of them my colleagues.”
The school was named a Family-Friendly Partnership School for 2021.
The School of Humanities (SOH) at Juliette Gordon Low Elementary was recognized by the state for its work to establish a family-friendly and welcoming atmosphere when Low starting with its merger with the former Thunderbolt Elementary in 2017.
Tahisha Wright, principal of SOH at Juliette Gordon Low Elementary, said, It was like an arranged marriage when Thunderbolt was closed to merge with Low. It was two separate family groups coming together. The two groups had to learn to trust each other. That was their task.
She explained that the newly merged school family had to earn the trust of each other and the community. The school staff visited the neighbors and attended neighborhood association meetings. We got feedback from various members of the community to find out how we could support them and how they can support us as a school.
