Holly Springs Elementary School STEM Academy, led by Principal Dr. Dianne Steinbeck, and Woodstock Elementary School, led by Principal Kim Montalbano, both have won the 2015 School Bell Award, presented by the Georgia Association of Elementary School Principals.

Holly Springs STEM Academy was selected for this honor based on its outstanding initiative, Microsoft Innovative Educators Certification, and Woodstock ES was honored for its successful Camp Learnalotta program.
