Thirty-five teachers and staff have been named to the 2022-23 class of Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts (MIEE).

Etowah HS Celebrates Latest Class of AP Capstone Graduates
AP Capstone is a two-year project-based learning program designed to help students develop critical thinking, research, collaboration, and presentation skills that are crucial to academic success. The elite program, which was developed by the College Board in partnership with colleges and universities, is offered in select high schools nationwide, with Etowah graduating its first class in 2019.
