  • September 2014
    GHSA September 2014 ‘New Guy’ Won’t Seek Change Just for Change’s Sake The winds of change have come to the Georgia High School Association. Subtle changes in long-term tenure began with the retirement of Joyce Kay. Mrs. Kay had been a primary fixture in the GHSA for more than 35 years. Joyce’s retirement was followed, shortly, by the retirement of Associate Director Dennis Payne, an 11-year administrator in football and baseball. Ultimately, the retirement of Dr. Ralph Swearngin, Executive Director, swept in the changes you will see for this and the coming years. Dr. Swearngin served as the Commissioner of Officials for nine years and as the Executive Director for the next 13 years. Other changes within the organization have come with the beginnings of this school year: • Jay Russell, former Athletic Director at LaGrange High School has been named Assistant Executive Director. He will administer cross country, track and golf. • Ernie Yarbrough has been named as Coordinator of Officiating. Additionally, he will administer softball, basketball and baseball; a change from prior years. • Tommy Whittle, Associate Director, will administer soccer now along with his duties in football and literary events. • Denis Tallini, a third year Associate Director, has been charged with the reorganization and revitalization of our Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. • In addition, there are a total of 20 new members on the 2014-15 State Executive Committee out of the 58 representatives, bringing some new and fresh ideas to the GHSA’s rule-making board. Admittedly, these are not sweeping changes, but they are reflective of our approach through the change process.

Glenn Parker, Director Joanie Adams, Deputy Director Gary Hegner, Deputy Director Recreation & Parks Department H. Glenn Parker, Director [email protected] March 5, 2018 On behalf of the Augusta Recreation and Parks Department, I present the 2017 Annual Report. The report highlights the Department’s accomplishments and activities. This is the third Annual Report we have submitted during my tenure as your Director. We continue to strengthen the Annual Report by providing more data, and this year comparison data, while still sharing highlights from throughout the year. This year we initiated the implementation of our Masterplan. Utilizing our SPLOST funding we begin the process of change within our recreation centers, parks, and playgrounds. This year our focus begins to look at program offerings, costs, and cost recovery. We all need to remember that the Masterplan provides long term recommendations to assist the Commission and staff in providing quality parks and programs to the residents of Augusta. There are very few quick fixes in the Masterplan. The work performed by the 137 full-time, 67 part-time, and over 65 seasonal dedicated employees this year will continue to modify the park system and prepare our city for the next generation of park patrons and program participants.
