Druid Hills High School student: Annexation will wipe out what made my school great

Jacob is student body president at Druid Hills, part of the school's International Baccalaureate program, and one of Georgia's delegates to the U.S. Senate youth program.

In college next year, Jacob plans to major in economics or public policy with hopes of pursuing a law or other graduate degree. "After college, I hope to get involved in politics at a local level and then move to the federal level," he says.

If annexed into Atlanta and APS, Druid Hills High School would lose some of the communities that now call the school their own.
