A $13,000 grant will be used to train “teachers as advisors” at Gainesville High School. The PerkinsPlus grant, funded by the Georgia Department of Education, was recently awarded to the school for the Teachers as Advisors program, which will further train homeroom teachers to also serve as a sort of counselor to their students. “We plan to bring some teachers in this summer, a team of teachers, and they will receive a stipend (for the training),” said Gainesville High principal LaCrisia Larkin.
