Congratulations to the Mill Creek Business Education

designed by The Society for Human Resource

Education to recognize and promote high quality
Business and Computer Science programs. This is a
rigorous, year long, project that involves advisory

Mill Creekâs Math team travels
to North Gwinnett four times
a year and our finale is always
at Norcross High School in
March.
The kids
compete
against a total of thirteen other
schools - many times over topics
that they will only see at
competitions (game theory, taxicab geometry,
markov chains)
and usually do
pretty well. We
came in 4th place
this year, behind
Gwinnett School
of Math Science
and Technology,
Chamblee High
School and
Norcross. We are
very proud of
our math team
students!
