Addison Skinner, a recent graduate of Grayson High School, was determined to not let anything get in the way of accomplishing his goal of graduating with perfect attendance like his mother had, not even the unusual circumstances of the last two months of his high school career.

Both his parents are graduates of Gwinnett County Public Schools, but only his mother graduated with 12 years of perfect attendance from Shiloh High School in 1989. His mother’s brother graduated with perfect attendance six years after her.
