The
Community School initiative at Fair Street involves program
partnerships with other community agencies.
The goal of the Community School is to increase
opportunities for our students by bringing programs into the
school. Partnerships include the Gainesville Hall County Boys
and Girls Club, Gainesville Park and Recreation, YMCA, and the
Girl and Boy Scouts. The Model Safe Playground and the Fair
Street Community Park are results of this effort.
Our students use Fair Street Pool for swimming
instruction. A
full-time School Resource Officer, provided with a City of
Gainesville Police grant, supports a disciplined and orderly
learning environment.
Fair Street School is the site for Brenau University
College of Education’s Professional Development School.
Brenau students receive methods instruction at our
site and apply their skills in our classrooms. Students at Fair
Street benefit from increased individualized instruction.
Fair Street is the site for PROJECT DOVE, a drop-out and
violence prevention program.
This includes the “2nd Step Program”, a
conflict resolution and violence intervention program.
This is in partnership with Georgia State University.
