Graduations are approaching! You read that right--graduations. Many of our CHS Seniors will graduate from BOTH high school and Ogeechee Technical College in May. These students will earn their high school diploma at the same time that they earn certificates and diplomas in their areas of post-secondary study. Pictured are Carson Blocker, CHS Senior, and Brandy Murphy, Assistant Director of Admissions at Ogeechee Technical College. Blocker attended last week's OTC Graduation Gala to prepare for his May graduation in HVAC. The future is bright for this Tiger! Students interested in finishing post-secondary coursework prior to high school graduation should reach out to Holly or Tina Durrence--(912) 739-3993. #TheDEN #careerready
