Hello, I'm Nyashia Cuyler, a senior currently enrolled in Dodge County High School. This petition was created because, my peers including myself have worked hard to accomplish a long term goal of becoming an honor graduate. However, this goal wasn't fulfill due to the current standard of Dodge County High School having a 94 GPA or higher. While surroundings counties GPA standards are Telfair 90, Dublin City 89.5, Bleckley 90, Laurens 90, and Pulaski 90. I'm reaching out to my community for help to make our honor graduate standards within in reach of these counties expectation requirements. Thus, relieving the stress it has put on students to require this 94 GPA. Personally, I have experienced bad anxiety and stress since the 9th grade to reach this goal only to find out that I wasn't on the list due to a 93.4 GPA. I felt that I not only failed myself but I also failed my family only by a couple of points. This affected me long term because I felt like giving up because nothing after that mattered and that it was over; thus, I'm reaching out to you will not only help me and my peers but also help your children that are coming up to be future seniors at Dodge County High School. By signing this petition it will get the Board of Educations attention. We together as a whole can make a great change to our honor graduate rates and change the future for our now and upcoming seniors! (All donations are going to the website. I appreciate ALL signatures and comments!!!!!)
