Stone Mountain High School

What Stone Mountain High School does

Stone Mountain High School (SMHS) is a Title I public high school located at 4555 Central Drive in Stone Mountain, Georgia, operating within the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) and serving students in grades 9-12. The school delivers free public education to students residing in its geographic attendance zone, with academic instruction, career and technical education (CTAE), college preparatory services, 49+ extracurricular clubs, and Pirate Athletics spanning 15+ sports under Athletic Director Marlon Moore. Leadership is anchored by Principal Rickey L. Wright Jr. and four Assistant Principals (Dr. Samone Bowers, Mr. Emanuel Lewis, Dr. Candace Williams, Mr. Ulysses Foston), supported by a Library Media Specialist (Mrs. R. Winchester), Social Worker Liaison (Tameica Williams), Post Secondary Transition Specialist (Faydren Battle), Communities In Schools Site Coordinator (Ms. E. Armstrong), and a College AIM Postsecondary Access Coach.

The school's technology stack is district-driven and primarily consumer-grade, integrating Infinite Campus for student information, Canvas for learning management, Clever (DCSD Launchpad) for single sign-on, Follett Destiny for library management, GALILEO for research databases, MySchoolBucks for meal payments, GoFan for athletic ticketing, and Remind for parent communication. The Digital Dreamers 1:1 Chromebook initiative provides each student with a personal device for daily classroom and homework use. The S.A.F.E. (Student And Family Engagement) Center, launched via a broad community partnership network on 2024-10-20, delivers wraparound services including food pantry access through the Atlanta Community Food Bank, healthcare navigation through Amerigroup and CareSource, foster care and mentorship through Communities In Schools of Atlanta, and crisis intervention via the DeKalb County Juvenile Court partnership.

SMHS is funded primarily through DCSD district allocations and Title I federal funding, which supports teacher salaries, professional development, technology, instructional materials, and parent engagement workshops. The school charges no tuition and generates limited ancillary revenue through GoFan athletic ticket sales. Title I designation is contingent on the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, signaling an economically vulnerable student population that directly motivates the wraparound service model and the 14+ partner ecosystem supporting the S.A.F.E. Center.
