Awards


Houston County High School was honored as a USDOE Blue Ribbon School between 1994 and 1996.[2] The unaffiliated Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, Inc. designated Houston County High School as a "Lighthouse School Charter Member" in 2004.[3] In that same year, HCHS was bestowed one of two Intel-Scholastic Schools of Distinction "Best of the Best" awards.[4] The school has also been the subject of several private sector technology initiatives and case studies on behalf of companies such as Intel, Hitachi, Hydra, Microsoft, and Promethian.[5][6][7]



Marching band


Houston County High School's band is the Black and Silver Brigade. As of 2006, the football marching band had 270 students, 170 of whom were in the competitive marching band. There are four concert bands, two jazz bands, and a percussion ensemble. The East Georgia marching festival in Statesboro, Georgia in November 2011 was the only competition the brigade attended; they were ranked best color guard, best brass, best visual, best in show drum major, superior percussion, and best in class 4AAAA.


The Black and Silver Brigade has performed in the Phoenix Invitational Marching Festival, the East Georgia Marching Festival and Championships, the Spirit of Georgia Marching Band Invitational, the Heart of Georgia Marching Invitational, the Sugar Bowl, the Thanksgiving Parade in Philadelphia, the Marshall Field's Christmas Parade, the State Street Thanksgiving Parade, and the grand opening of the Museum of Arts in Science in Tampa, Florida. The brigade's members were designated as Goodwill Ambassadors when they performed in Freeport, Grand Bahamas. In 1994, the band performed in front of the president at the 2008 National Independence Day celebration in Washington DC.[8] In March 2013, the brigade traveled to New York to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade.


In October 2007, the Houston County Competition Band competed in their hometown competition at the Heart of Georgia, hosted by Warner Robins High School. The band competed against over 25 other bands to claim the title of Grand Champion, their first such title in several years. In October 2008, the band received the honor of Grand Champion at the Eagle's Nest Invitational held at Collins Hill High School in Atlanta. This was the first time that the Black and Silver Brigade won an Atlanta Region competition. The Percussion line won "High Drums" or 1st place Drums in all three competitions, another first in the band's history. The Black and Silver Brigade again won the Grand Championship title at the Golden Hawk Invitational at Washington County High School and the Heart of Georgia Marching Invitational on October 17 and 24, 2009, respectively.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
