Earlier this week, CCSD was privileged to host many of the National Rural Education Association conference attendees for a day to show how "Education is Better in Metter." The NREA conference was being held in Savannah, but one of their networking outreach opportunities was to come to Candler County Schools! We hosted them for the entire day, complete with an agenda including:
•Tours of the facilities, including the construction of MCCA
• High School Student Panel, a chance for them to tell their story of career paths
• Dual Enrollment opportunities
• Discussion on Business, Industry and Community Partnerships
• Korea trip attendees discuss their abroad opportunity
• Top Tiger & Hard Hat Awards at MES
• Amazing Shake & Winning 50 at MMS
• Transition Program from Middle to High School
• FLEX entrepreneur program at the High Schools
• Regular Education Initiative collaborations with other GaDOE Divisions
There were over 30 educators from all over the country on our campus for this special trip. We are thankful they chose to visit Candler County Schools and see what great things we are doing!
