A group of career-education students from the district won first place at a statewide secondary competition and were recognized at the Aug. 4 board meeting. A career-education teacher described the task—produce a news package under a tight deadline—and credited students for working under pressure to deliver the project.
"We actually interviewed... and we won 1st place," the teacher said, noting the contest included roughly 160 teams and that the students handled all aspects of production. Superintendent Nicks and board members praised the program’s role in preparing students for Georgia’s workforce and presented medals to the students for their performance.
The teacher named students who participated (examples in the discussion included Daniel Gonzales and Kenzie Slaughter) and highlighted the program’s real-world deadlines and the two weekly shows that provide hands-on experience for students.
