This week, we’re shining the light on Annette Smith! Better known across the district as “Smitty,” she’s a Media Specialist, Literacy Leader and Writing Advocate who brings learning, creativity, and storytelling to life!

Smitty champions literacy at Benjamin E. Mays High School, recognized by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) as a Literacy Leader.

Wearing many hats, Smitty serves as Communications Ambassador, School Library Media Specialist, Yearbook and Newspaper Sponsor, eNewsletter Editor, Journalism and Writing Teacher, and enthusiastic collaborator. She also leads That SW Lit Squad—a dynamic team of student storytellers, journalists, photographers, and content creators bringing the Mays experience to life! 🎥📝📸

When she’s not on the Hill, she’s Out in the Halls—capturing moments, creating videos, connecting with supporters, and championing literacy alongside her Lit Squad. From the classroom to the community, Smitty shows scholars that literacy is more than reading and writing—it’s about finding your voice, sharing your story, and making an impact!

Thank you, Smitty, for your commitment to our scholars. Your presence makes a difference, your passion inspires, and the connections you build help students find their voices and tell their stories!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Atlanta says NO MORE.

“It wasn’t my fault.” Abuse is never the victim’s fault. Every survivor deserves support and safety.

City Attorney Marquetta Bryan joins the call to say NO MORE to domestic violence.

Happy Emotional Wellness Month!

Taking care of our emotions is just as important as taking care of our bodies. This month, let’s remember to talk about our feelings, support one another, and make time for things that help us feel our best. 🧠

It’s okay to talk. It’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone. 🤝✨
