Dear GLOBE Community,
I am pleased to present The GLOBE Academy’s 2022-2023 Financial Audit. For the ninth year in a row, GLOBE has received a clean financial audit, free of any findings. You can find a copy of the report here.
Strong financial management is a key driver of the success of a charter school and allows us to continue to invest in our human and capital assets. A long track record of strong financials also allows us greater access to financial markets to support our long-term growth.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions by email.
Regards,
Denise M. Clayton-Purvis
Chief Financial Officer

Students audition for All-State Chorus
Six chorus students made history by being the first class of students from The GLOBE Academy to audition for Georgia Music Educators' Association All-State Chorus. The audition includes learning a solo, singing 3 types of scales, and sight reading (performing music they only have 30 seconds to review). 5,800 students auditioned for the chorus and less than 10% will proceed to the 2nd audition. Sylvie Hooper will represent GLOBE at the next phase of the All-State process. Please join us in congratulating all the chorus students who have embarked on this amazing journey. Pictured, second row: Kathryn Bohm, Kylie Wen, Maramawiet Samson; first row: Emma Dargent-Cham, Sylvie Hooper, Emery Korzan.
