Albany -- Dougherty County parents got some advice Thursday night to help ease their children's transition into high school.

About 100 parents sat through a presentation about the new high school curriculum and graduation requirements.

Next year's freshmen will be the first class affected by the changes.

School officials also explained what will be offered at the Magnet Centers of Excellence at Dougherty County High Schools.
