GOOD NEWS FROM SCHOOLS: Parkview senior receives $10,000 scholarship

A Parkview High School student recently received a $10,000 grand prize scholarship from Georgia United Credit Union in the organization's 23rd annual scholarship competition.

Since it began, nearly $200,000 has been awarded to high school seniors.

Recipients were chosen based on a video competition with consideration given to academic accomplishments, leadership, and participation in school and community activities.

Tanish Pradhan received the Vernon E. Carne Scholarship.

Overall, $27,500 was given to four high school seniors through scholarships named for Carne, the credit union's founder, and notable board members Geraldine Tilson, Dorothy Dusenberry and Polly Hinde.

Pradhan is a senior at Parkview and has a 4.0 grade point average.

He is a member of various academic and community service organizations including Technology Student Association, president of the Parkview National Honor Society, Math and Science National Honor Societies, Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica and Beta Club.

Pradhan plans to attend Georgia Tech and major in biomedical engineering.

Kindergarten online

registration underway

Gwinnett County Public Schools has opened online registration for kindergarten with a school event set for May 4.

Families can start registration on the school website, but must complete the process with a visit to the school to submit birth records and required health and residence information.

Times and activities for registration vary by school, so check the school website or call your school for registration times for the May 4 event.

This is for rising kindergartners — children who will be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2017 — and their parents or guardians should attend. Bring your rising kindergartner with you on May 4. The child will complete a kindergarten entry profile and take part in other activities.

If you're not sure which school your child will attend, call the GCPS planning department at 678-301-7085.

The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 7.
