Why Career and Technical Education?

Career and technical education will help your child to be more than just an average student. Career and technical education can give your child what’s needed to succeed for life: technical skills, academic skills and employability skills. In addition, career and technical education helps students see how what they’re learning applies to the needs of employers.
Regardless of whether students are headed for college or the workforce, this type of education will help them prepare for the future. In fact, college-bound students can get job experiences to help them define their career plans, identify an appropriate course of study and help pay for tuition.
Just think of the benefits your child will receive by gaining not only a solid foundation in academics, but also hands-on, technical experience and know-how.

Welcome Back From Spring Break

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break and that you all were able to recharge! Just wanted to share an update with you... Cobb County School District is now giving students two options for instruction and grading. Option 1: Students can keep their current grade that is in the Gradebook. Whatever grade that you had on March 13th, you can just keep and stop instruction. Option 2: Continue instruction in an effort to increase your current grade. I personally want to encourage all my students to continue with instruction. This is a great opportunity to boost your grade, boost your GPA and continue gaining great content. Let's not forget how important a high GPA is for getting accepted into college and continuing education.  Nevertheless, I will continue to be here for each of you. I upload assignments every Sunday night. All assignments are due the following Friday by midnight. At anytime, if you have a question, comment or concern, simply email me (Kristenthigpen@gmail.com) ...
