More than one in three students at Centennial High School identified as Hispanic in the 2024-25 school year, while Roswell High School wasn't far behind at 28%, according to Georgia Department of Education data published Thursday, July 23.

Centennial enrolled 556 Hispanic students out of 1,589 total, a 35% share. Roswell High enrolled 559 Hispanic students among its 1,999 total. Both schools far exceed the Fulton County Schools districtwide average of 13.6%.

The feeder schools tell a sharper story.

Holcomb Bridge Middle School reported that half its student body — 303 of 607 students — identified as Hispanic. Elkins Pointe Middle School came in at 46%, with 399 Hispanic students out of 869 enrolled. Haynes Bridge Middle School reported 26%, with 162 of 625 students. Those middle schools feed directly into Centennial and Roswell High, and the gap between middle-school and high-school percentages suggests the high school shares have room to grow as younger cohorts advance.

Across all 195 Fulton County schools, the district enrolled 132,036 students in 2024-25. Of those, 17,986 were Hispanic, a 0.9% increase from the prior year. The growth is modest but continues a steady trend that has reshaped enrollment patterns at Roswell-area campuses in particular.

At the elementary level, the picture varies. Roswell North Elementary reported just 11% Hispanic enrollment — 98 of 891 students — while other feeders like Vickery Mill Elementary reached 56%.

Roswell High posts its residency verification notice in both English and Spanish on the school's website.

Fulton County Schools, led by Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney, opens the 2026-27 school year on Monday, August 3. The Fulton County Board of Education has a special called meeting and first millage rate hearing scheduled for Thursday, July 30, at the FCS South Learning Center in Union City.
