The school achieved accreditation in 2006 from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.[1]

In the 2005–2006 school year the administration sought to establish a new campus in DeKalb County and did a capital campaign. Construction began circa 2007.[4] The new campus was annexed into Chamblee.[7][8]
