Technical College System Honors EAGLE Recipients For Achievements In Adult Education
 Atlanta – The Technical College System of Georgia’s Office of Adult Education recognized Tommy Floyd and 36 additional men and women for their achievements in adult education during a luncheon held Friday at Atlanta’s Hyatt Regency Hotel.
The Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) program honored the 37 as delegates to the program’s Leadership Institute conference held in Atlanta February 13-15.
Nominated by instructors from Georgia’s local adult literacy programs, the 37 EAGLE delegates are among more than 84,000 adult learners in the state. Each delegate earned the statewide recognition based on their hard work to obtain their GED and their excellent character, positive attitude, superb classroom attendance and outstanding leadership.
Georgia’s 2008 EAGLE delegates are considered ambassadors and spokespersons for adult education, according to Ron Jackson, Commissioner for the Technical College System of Georgia. Jackson adds, “These outstanding men and women are role models for others who want to obtain their GED. I take pride in knowing that each delegate demonstrates leadership qualities wherever they are – their homes, communities, workplaces and, most assuredly, in their classrooms.”
Altamaha Technical College is among 33 colleges in the Technical College System of Georgia. In 2007, 140,852 students attended TCSG colleges, which offer small classes, hands-on experience and focused instructor attention.
