This is an op-ed by Savannah-Chatham Public Schools Superintendent M. Ann Levett.
What have we learned in a year? We have learned how much we need each other. We have learned the true value of technology and how with all its benefits there are still many barriers to overcome. We have gained a greater appreciation for patience and compassion. We have seen so many gain a greater understanding of what educators already know quality learning is about relationships and there is no substitute for the connection between a teacher and their students.

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.
