Here are the top three stories today in Johns Creek:

1. The Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra has been rebranded just in time for the latest concert season. The 2022-2023 series is entitled "Resilient Spirit, Resounding Season." The orchestra was moved by the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially by the generous investments and continued support from the community. Click the link to see the full season schedule.

2. A Johns Creek native has been named among the top 20 defensive linemen in the country for high school football. T.A. Cunningham, a six-foot-six, 265-pound lineman, transferred from Johns Creek to Los Alamitos, CA, during the offseason. Last year, he had 66 tackles and seven sacks as a sophomore at Johns Creek High School. (Scorebook Live)
