ATC Honors Local Educators for their Dedication
to Dual Enrollment Program
Altamaha Technical College recently honored Career/Technical Directors, Bonnie Gordon of Wayne County High School and Karen Swindell of Long County High School for their outstanding, dedicated, and enthusiastic service to the promotion of Dual Enrollment programs for their high schools for the 2006-2007 school year. Rod Lane, ATC Tech Prep Coordinator, presented each with a plaque. “Without the help of these Champions for Dual Enrollment in the high schools, we would not have made the progress we did and the program would not have been so successful,” states Lane.
Almost sixty high school juniors and seniors from WCHS and LCHS took advantage of the dual enrollment opportunities with ATC this year. Through dual enrollment students receive training which “jump starts” their careers by allowing them to receive high school course credit and college course credit while still in high school. Students enrolled in classes such as welding, basic electricity, A+ Specialist, air conditioning, nail technician and more.
“We are currently working on programs for next year and will be speaking with high school students in the near future,” says Lane. “With the continued efforts put forth by personnel by each of our high schools in our area, I’m sure next year will be as big of a success or better.”
