School Principals' Day with Gordon County Schools principals pictured
Yesterday, we had the honor of celebrating the Sonoraville High School students who were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society.

NTHS is the honor society for Career & Technical Education. Students were nominated by CTAE teachers for excellence and outstanding performance in CTAE Pathway courses and Work-based Learning. NTHS supports the next generation of skilled workers and leaders through chapter activities built around our Core Four Objectives of career development, leadership development, service, and recognition.

Please congratulate these students for their accomplishments in CTAE classes and Career Technical Student Organizations!

Flyer for Sonoraville High School Summer Theatre Camp, May 26–30, 2026. The camp features Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Kids. A QR code is included for camp registration.

The SHS Construction class recently visited Mrs. Stamey’s 5th grade science class at SES to teach students about electrical circuits. During the visit, they explained the different parts of a circuit, how to build one, and the function of each component. Students then participated in a hands-on activity where they created their own circuits and tested them. By completing a closed circuit, they were able to see electricity in action as their light bulbs lit up!

We are so proud of our students for sharing their knowledge, leading by example, and inspiring future learners!
