Road Trips

►►All Road Trips must be submitted by close of school on

Friday, May 13 in order to be considered

Road Trips are optional, extracurricular activities that students and their families may join for fun and extra credit. Students who attend a Road Trip may earn up to 50 points after completing a written assignment related to the Road Trip. These are not official Alpharetta High School field trips. They are scheduled by Mrs. Jolle for the week-ends and students must provide their own transportation (usually parents) to the event. Parents are expected to stay with their student throughout the event since I cannot take responsibility for students outside of school hours.

 You leave whenever you wish after you complete the written assignment related to the event. I encourage families to make this a family activity...bring grandma, little sister and your crazy cousin Sue! Students may wish to gather a few friends to have one parent drive to the first Road Trip and another parent drive to the next Road Trip. See me or click below for the written assignment before you go.

Note: You may only submit a maximum of two Road Trip assignments per semester.

 Be sure to get the assignment before you go!
