Nicholas Poulos, a seventh grader at the Peachtree Corners private school, bested 19 other competitors at the recent competition.
You could say the third time is the charm for Nicholas Poulos, a 7th grader at the Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners. Poulos, 13, had made it to Round 3 (GISA Unit Finals) as a 5th grader and 6th grader only to lose out in the third round. This year, he was runner-up at Round 3 (GISA Unit Finals) which earned him a coveted spot at the State Championship. The young man, who lives in Tucker, became the 52nd Annual Georgia Association of Educators State Spelling Bee champion on Friday besting Rohan Ramdeholl from North Gwinnett Middle School to win.

Chad Hall, a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, is a 2005 graduate from the Peachtree Corners school.
How many of us can brag someone from our home town has played in the Super Bowl? Well, you can now. Wesleyan School grad Chad Hall, now a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver, is on his way to Super Bowl 2013. It's something of a dream come true for the 26-year-old who during his years playing for the Wolves was the only player in the country to lead his team in rushing and receiving during his senior year. "It's unreal," Hall said in an interview with the Gwinnett Daily Post recently. "When you're 6 years old in the backyard, you're dreaming about playing in the Super Bowl. Now I get a chance to step on that field and soak up that atmosphere." After high school, Hall attended Air Force Academy where he started out as a quarterback then moved…

A man was arrested for public indecency last week after he allegedly showed his genitals to a woman inside an Ingles in Peachtree Corners.
