As we end CTAE month, we want to commend our CTAE teachers for providing real-world, workforce-ready skills, real high school experience with added value and real opportunities for college and rewarding careers. Georgia’s CTAE graduation rate is 98.24% and we are proud to report that Seminole County’s CTAE graduation rate is 100%! Great job, CTAE Department! The Seminole County CTAE department is just one more reason why we are and continue to be the best school in southwest Georgia!
Our CTAE superstars include:
Kaylah Andrews, Workforce Ready and CTI Coordinator; Levi Dunn, Agricultural Mechanics; Victoria Fleet, Horticulture, Floral Design, Floriculture Systems and Animal Science; Jennifer Hodges, Allied Health and Medicine and Food and Nutrition; Michelle Hornsby, Web Development and Audio/Video Technology; Wes Pace, Young Farmer; and Kathryn Touchton, Teaching as a Profession, Business and Technology, Work-based Learning Coordinator and CTAE Director.
If any local business and industry would like to be involved with our CTAE program, please contact Kathryn Touchton, kathryn.touchton@seminole.k12.ga.us, and become a member of our advisory council. It is local needs that drive our program delivery and it is our community members that help us connect our students to opportunities available to them right here in Seminole County.
CTAE Director Kathryn Touchton and Workforce Ready Instructor Kaylah Andrews were invited to Georgia Pacific in Cedar Springs as part of the company's outreach to cultivate a pool of potential employees. After a tour of the facilities, they met with the leadership and HR teams, fostering a promising partnership that aims to expose our students to various employment opportunities at Georgia Pacific.
Attention 6th & 8th grade parents: Beginning on Monday, 3/3 through 3/20 all 6th & 8th grade students will have a mandatory scoliosis screening performed during their tribe time class. This is a state mandated requirement UNLESS the child's parent/guardian returns the screening form SIGNED with "OPT OUT" selected. Forms went home last week with your child. Female students are required to wear a sports bra or bathing suit top, and Male students need to wear a t-shirt for the test. Your students' tribe time teacher will notify them the day before their screening that they will be screened the next day. If you have any questions please contact the school nurse.
