We would like to wish Tammy Fuller, our lunchroom manager, and the amazing lunchroom staff a huge congratulations on their score of 100 on their recent health safety inspection. They do a wonderful job and always have smiles to share with students and staff! #TOGETHERGCHS
Last week, Sonoraville High School teacher Katie Farley and district Educational Diagnostician Natasha Hall took students from both high schools on a tour of the GNTC Floyd campus through the High School High Tech program.
They were able to explore these program areas: healthcare, welding, cosmetology, auto collision repair, instrumentation and controls, and auto fundamentals. This looked like an extremely informative and interactive tour, and we appreciate these educators giving students opportunities to explore future potential careers.
