To date, they have raised over $65k in scholarships for at-risk youth. Johnny Brown, Kroger Customer Service Manager - Atlanta Division states, "To be able to give back to our youth - who are the future - is phenomenal. Anybody who has watched the news knows that our education is in serious peril due to reduced funding, so anything we can do to help further their processes is great."

Premier Academy is known for its national and local accreditation status and meets the rigorous demands for quality standards. Georgia Power has provided support for educational initiatives, and Mr. Mitchell has aligned his community efforts with the vision of Georgia Power.
