We’re proud to spotlight two of our amazing educators—Jana Tanner and Angela Beecher—who spent a week of their summer break gaining real-world experience through an externship at Claxton Poultry! By stepping into the heart of local industry, they’re bringing back valuable insights to share with their students—and building stronger school-to-career connections! Huge thanks to RISE, Claxton Poultry, and Georgia Power for partnering with our schools to support hands-on learning and career readiness! #TheDEN
