A.R. Johnson participated in the Georgia CTSO Day at Six Flags! We took our High and our newly affiliated Middle School Technology Student Association teams to compete against other schools all over Georgia! While the competitions were being judged the park was open to ride, eat, and have fun with friends throughout the park!

Both our Teams worked hard and showed great showmanship and represented A.R.J. well!

Our HS Team showed great sportsmanship and cheered for our MS team as they announced their 3 wins for their very first competition!

Overall…it was a WIN for A.R. Johnson Magnet School!
