Advocating for High Point
in 2024
How the High Point Civic Association has been working for YOU!
- Successfully advocated for neighbors regarding the proposed Development Code at the Planning Commission meeting, City Council Meetings, and in direct meetings with City Staff. As reported in the January 2024 newsletter, the changes that HPCA opposed were NOT approved. This means that the 1/2 mile distance requirement between gas stations was retained and that retail and "neighborhood eatery" were NOT added to the list of acceptable uses
for our "ON" - "Office Neighborhood" designation.
- Held the Annual Meeting in April 2024, which included all three principals from our schools - Dr. Danielle Miller (High Point), Thomas Garrett (Ridgeview), Kindra Smith (Riverwood),
Sandy Springs Mayor Paul,
City Manager Eden Freeman, Representative Betsy Holland,
Senator Josh McLaurin, Sandy Springs District 5 Councilman DeJulio,
and Police Chief Ken DeSimone
CLICK HERE for more information about our 2024 Annual Meeting
- Hosted the Fall social in November 2023 at Ridgeview Park
- Supported the Daffodil Project with additional plantings and garden maintenance
- Supported the Sandy Springs Fire and Police departments with a donation to the Benevolent Fund
- Participated in the Citizen's Police Academy and Leadership Perimeter
- Published regular communications about key activities in the city
- Advocated for a crosswalk at Forest Hills and High Point
- Represented the neighborhood at ALL City Council meetings this year
- Granted two $3000 scholarships to Riverwood students from High Point
- Represented the neighborhood at the High Point Elementary Fall Festival

Meredith Willson's
THE MUSIC MAN
SEPTEMBER 6-22, 2024
Book, Music and Lyrics
by Meredith Willson
Story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Directed by Tony Award®-winner Shuler Hensley
Written in 1957, Meredith Willson’s The Music Man became an immediate audience-favorite, beating out West Side Story for Best Musical honors at that year’s Tony Awards ceremony. 67 years later, the story of con-man Harold Hill and the small town piano teacher with whom he falls in love, has never gone out of style with theatergoers. Our production is directed by Shuler Hensley, who co-starred with Hugh Jackman in the most-recent Broadway revival of the show, and our choreographer, Sara Edwards, worked as the associate choreographer in the same production.
This production is recommended for ALL AUDIENCES.
CLICK HERE for tickets.
The Music Man is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

Sandy Springs City Council Approves Mid-Block Crossing Safety Improvement Project in the
High Point area
The High Point Road mid-block pedestrian crossing will connect the east and west sides of High Point Road at Forest Hills Drive. The City plans to construct around 60 linear feet of sidewalk on the west side of High Point Road, including ADA ramps, a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) on both sides of the road, a marked crosswalk, and a passive video detection system. The passive video detection system will allow for the RRFB to be activated by the presence of a pedestrian rather than using the signal button, allowing residents to safely
utilize the crossing to attend
Congregation Beth Tefillah.
