School Crashers
Transforming Schools, One Makeover at a Time
For more than a decade, Georgia United Foundation's School Crashers program has been transforming learning environments across Georgia. Every year, we select multiple schools for much-needed improvement projects. Thanks to the generous support of local businesses and dedicated community volunteers, this program has impacted 81 deserving schools, investing over $3 million in improvements—and we're just getting started!
This year, five schools were selected from 212 applicants. Check out the schools who were "crashed" over summer break... And stay tuned for 2026 online applications opening in mid-December.
Apalachee High School
Winder, Georgia
Clarkston High School
Clarkston, Georgia
Clarkston High School, located in one of the most diverse areas of DeKalb County, was nominated by DeKalb County’s Media Specialist of the Year, Tracie Hardin. She shared, "The Media Center has always been a safe haven for our students, faculty and staff. We accommodate our extremely diverse student population's needs for a quiet place to study, research, read or pray. Our sixty-year-old school was in desperate need of an update from the older traditional library look to a more modern Media Center that represents where we are now. We needed a transformation and more importantly, our students needed to know they deserve to have this experience."
Over the summer, the school experienced flooding which caused damage to the newly installed flooring. Thanks to the generosity of Mohawk, a second donation of LVT flooring will be installed during fall break.
