In Dr. Steven Miletto’s view, he and Centennial High School were meant for each other.
“Did you ever just have the feeling you were called someplace?” Miletto said.
An east Cobb resident who lives in the small sliver of that county with a Roswell address, Miletto and his family have always shopped, played and gone to church in Roswell.
Until this year, he was principal of Osborne High School in Cobb, where his work was recognized nationally by Newsweek Magazine for improving student achievement. Named Georgia Principal of the Year in 2009 by the Georgia Association of Educational Leaders, Miletto later became one of three finalists for the national title. Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier this month, the city of Roswell was named one of the best places to live in the United States by Money Magazine.
Roswell came in at number 76 out of 100 cities with population between 50,000 and 300,000 residents.
“We have focused on being a good place to live, so it’s great when our efforts are recognized,” Roswell Mayor Jere Wood said. “This isn’t the first time Roswell has been recognized like this, but it’s great that we are continuing to stand out.” Read the rest of this entry »

Milton High School
Four north Fulton schools have been included on Newsweek magazine’s list of 1,623 top-ranking public high schools in the nation.
Milton High School ranked 313, with Alpharetta High School close behind at 345, Roswell High School at 399 and Northview High School at 410.
“Being recognized as one of Newsweek’s top high schools is not only a testament of the hard work of our students, teachers and staff, but a reflection of our community’s support for its high school,” said Roswell High School Principal Ed Spurka.
All public schools in the nation, including charter schools, were ranked according to a challenge index devised by the magazine.
The ranking comes from the number of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests taken by all students at a school in 2009 divided by the number of graduating seniors.
Using this measurement each school on the list was identified as being within the top six percent of all U.S. public schools.
Earlier this school year, the same schools also received national recognition as Advanced Placement Merit Schools. Each of the four schools made last year’s Newsweek list, as well.
Northview High School principal Pamela Spalla said making the list is one indicator of the school’s success.
“Each year we send many of our students to the most prestigious of universities, but also out into the work force, into the military or onto trade and technical schools,” said Ms. Spalla.
“Northview and its teachers excel at preparing students to fulfill their ambitions. It has been a joy to see our efforts acknowledged year after year.”
