🔬📚 Science teachers from grades 5, 8, and Biology recently participated in a training where they learned how to encourage students to actively engage in science and engineering practices. They also analyzed and developed three-dimensional science assessments for use in the classroom. Science teachers aim to ignite curiosity in students and keep them amazed by the world around them. #EmpoweringStudents 🌟 #GaDOE 🌟 #ScienceTraining

On February 6th, 2024, the CHS HSHT students visited the municipal wastewater treatment plant in Statesboro, GA. They learned about the chemical processes involved in cleaning wastewater before it is released back into the environment. While in a classroom setting, the plant's Maintenance Supervisor provided a digital overview of the everyday operations of the plant. Afterward, the tour guides explained each stage of the treatment process and described the contaminants removed along the way. Students were informed of the educational requirements to get hired as a wastewater treatment plant operator, the duties, the starting salary, as well as the classes and tests that are required to maintain employment and increase pay. This was another great opportunity provided by the High School High Tech program that allowed our students to experience post-secondary employment options. #TigersOnTheMove #RealLifePreparation
