Magnet Program
The Grady Communication Magnet, located on the Henry W. Grady High School campus in Midtown Atlanta, is one of eight magnet programs in the Atlanta Public Schools System. A magnet program develops a special emphasis within a high school setting. In the Grady magnet program, students supplement their college preparatory course of study with elective courses to gain a competitive edge in effective communication skills for a profession in mass media or for any chosen career. During the 2010-11 school year, the Communications program will begin a four year transformation from a magnet program to a small learning community.

Famous quotes containing the words magnet and/or program:
“While this magnetic,
Peripatetic
Lover he lived to learn,
By no endeavor
Can a magnet ever
Attract a Silver Churn!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“A ‘spasm band’ is a miscellaneous collection of a soap box, tin cans, pan tops, nails, drumsticks, and little Negro boys. When mixed in the proper proportions this results in the wildest shuffle dancing, accompanied by a bumping rhythm.”
—For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
