ANOTHER VIEW: Langdale was key to success of Georgia State University
By Hoyt Tuggle
BUFORD, Ga. | As a former Georgia State University (GSU) student, I have many memories of my time there as a night student. I enrolled in Georgia State in 1968, eight years out of high school. I was married, had two children, two jobs, and wanted the college education I had earlier foregone.

BRACK: Visiting the new Paul Duke STEM School; Grad rates at Georgia State
JUNE 12, 2018 | It was an early-morning open house recently at the new Paul Duke STEM High School in Norcross. I was disappointed in the lack of a crowd to tour the new facility. The school had mailed invitations for the public to come look at the just-finished school, though workmen were going through the final check-list while we were there.
The school itself is beautiful, built at 5850 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross. It is expected to relieve crowded conditions at Norcross High, while offering an innovative program in science, technology, engineering and math.

“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
