In 2001, 29 students took a chance on something new at South Forsyth High School.More than a decade later, the school’s International Baccalaureate, or IB, program has become a magnet for accelerated learners.“It’s an indication of work ethic and it’s an indication of a student welcoming higher rigor and then accomplishing it,” said Cindy Salloum, the Forsyth County school system’s chief accountability officer.It was also a way for Chris Reid to start college a semester ahead. Reid, who graduated from the IB program in 2009, said a teacher mentioned it to him as a possible good fit.“I get bored easily and the amount of work and also the kind of work was good,” he said. “It’s not work you can kind of compute and pump out an answer, you have to think about it.“It was challenging.”During a recent school board meeting, IB Coordinator Kevin Denney and South Forsyth High’s new principal, Jeff Cheney, talked about the growth and future of the program.Students were previously able to earn an IB diploma when they graduated high school.
