Students proudly showcased their posters on cellular disorders, explaining how changes within cells can affect the entire body. A creative way to build scientific understanding, communication, and student voice! 🧬🔬 @LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD#NewDay#StudentLearning
LHS Class of 2027 went the extra mile after school. Today they met college reps & asked the right questions. Informed choices! 🖤💛🎓 @MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh
25 years ago, while stationed aboard USS Peterson (DD-969), we received orders to deploy. My oldest was just 1. Today, I continue to remember and honor. 🇺🇸 #NeverForget#NavyVeteran
Student voice in action! Our student confidently explained her answer choice and supported her thinking with evidence. This is what meaningful discourse and deeper learning look like! 🎓💡 @LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD#EveryVoiceMatters#NewDay
From PLC lesson internalization to classroom implementation! Our teacher planned an egg osmosis demonstration with his team, then brought it to life for students—turning collaboration into engaging, hands-on science learning. 🥚🔬 @LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD#NewDay
Changing the story, one conversation at a time. 🖤💛
At LHS, even discipline is an opportunity to teach, restore, and reconnect. This week in ISS, scholars engaged in a restorative circle centered on student voice and accountability, followed by an SEL lesson on breaking the cycle and recognizing the power we have to make a different choice.
Consequences matter. Reflection matters. Restoration matters. Growth is the goal. 💛🖤

What do Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable” and an SZA song have in common in an ELA classroom? More than you think! 🎶 Let’s use music students know to teach how an artist’s attitude, emotions, and word choices reveal tone. @MCWilkinsPhD@APDavisLHS@MsTeach2017
Students had the opportunity to share what they’ve learned about the focused note taking process and explain how they are using these strategies to strengthen their learning in our their classes. #AVID@MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh
SGA and Homecoming campaigns are sweet, and our administrators @APDavisLHS and @ItsMrHarvey5 are enjoying the benefits one cupcake at a time! 🧁🗳️GA Campaigns in full effect. @MCWilkinsPhD
I stepped into ELA today & Ms. Graham was observed facilitating a small group of students who wanted to read the excerpt aloud while the rest of the students read silently in class. @LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD
🧪Mr. Everette’s biology students used a quick hands-on lab to explore isotonic, hypertonic, & hypotonic solutions, then took the learning a step further by explaining their findings and osmosis on video! Learning + Doing + Explaining = Understanding! @MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh
Community in action! A huge shoutout to our S.A.F.E. Center Liaison for leading today’s food distribution and helping ensure our students and families received much-needed support. At Lithonia, we’re not just a school—we’re a community! 💛🖤@MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh
History came alive in Mr. Boone’s class! ⚔️🏛️ Students stepped into the roles of Spartans and the Persian Empire to engage in a productive debate—defending their positions, using evidence, and learning from one another. Every voice matters! 🗣️#NewDay@LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD
From PD to practice! 🎯✏️ Our teachers modeled learning with mini whiteboards during PD and our students are doing the same in the classroom! A simple strategy that makes thinking visible and provides instant checks for understanding. 🙌🏾📚 #NewDay@LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD
Student-made posters on atomic theory showcase creativity and understanding as students illustrate the structure of atoms and scientific discoveries. 🧪🧠 A visual celebration of learning and scientific thinking in action!
@MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh#NewDay#ChemistryInAction
Nothing like a little friendly competition to bring learning to life! 🏆🧠 Students raced to the board to solve problems while their classmates cheered them on. Engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking in action!

🍔🍝 Science is taking over the hallways! 🧬
Our students explored carbohydrates and lipids by answering a tasty question: If you had to survive on these biomolecules, where would you eat? 🍕🥑🥞
🧠🦴Our Human Anatomy students are starting a semester-long journey by tracing life-sized outlines of their peers! As we explore, students will build their diagrams from the inside out, adding organs, structures, and connections along the way. @MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh
Hands-on learning in action! 🧪 Our Chemistry students rotated through interactive stations, identifying and exploring the purpose of essential scientific measuring tools. Building foundational lab skills today for confident scientists tomorrow! 🔬📏⚗️ @LithoniaHigh@MCWilkinsPhD
Vocabulary meets hands-on learning! Students applied dissection terms as they explored gummy bear anatomy, making scientific language meaningful before stepping into the lab. 🔬🍬 #StudentEngagement#NewDay@MCWilkinsPhD@LithoniaHigh
