Magnet Participation Requirements

At North Cobb School For International Studies, we believe that students need to be involved in their campus and their community. Our Magnet students participate in extracurricular activities on our campus, give back to their community through service, and take advantage of the wealth of IS-related activities that the Atlanta area offers.

Students are expected to participate in the following:

  1. Community Service
  2. Extra-curricular activities
  3. International Studies Experiences
COMMUNITY SERVICE

We ask that students commit to at least two community service activities each year. Students document their community service hours and submit them to Ms. Kennedy Reese (kennedy.reese@cobbk12.org) . North Cobb High School (not the magnet program) awards graduation medals to any student who documents:

  • 100 hours for a bronze medal
  • 150 hours for a silver medal
  • 200 hours for a gold medal
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES EXPERIENCES

International experiences are events, outside of school, which students take part in that relate to our international studies focus. They range from cultural festivals to museum exhibits. There are limitless opportunities for students and families to take part in events that are of personal interest to them.
