GCCC Earns National Award from High Schools That Work

Greene County Career Center has received a national High Schools That Work Gold Award for Improved Implementation, based on the progress of school leaders and teachers in improving school practices. The award was recently presented by Dave Spence, President of the Southern Regional Education Board, at the annual High Schools That Work Staff Development Conference in Atlanta. 
            Spence praised the Career Center for its achievement, pointing out that it takes dedication and hard work on the part of state, district and school leaders and teachers to make progress in preparing students for college and careers in an increasingly competitive world. He presented the award before an audience of more than 6,000 educators from across the nation.
            “This is a great honor for Greene County Career Center,” said district Superintendent Dan Schroer. “Our staff’s commitment to improving student achievement shines through. This award is also a tribute to the leadership of former Superintendent Marsha Leonard. The Board is extremely proud of what has been accomplished and looks forward to continued improvement in student achievement.“
            The school is one of only ten high schools in the nation receiving the HSTW Gold Award for Improved Implementation for 2009. To earn this recognition, the school made large improvements in their implementation of the HSTW design. These schools also had 50 percent or more of students meet at least one of the readiness goals on the 2008 HSTW Assessment and either met the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria of the federal No Child Left Behind Act or had a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher.   
            “Greene County Career Center has shown what can be accomplished to raise student achievement by deeply implementing the High Schools That Work model for strengthening curriculum and instruction,” said Gene Bottoms, Senior Vice President of SREB and founder of HSTW. “The school illustrates the spirit of change and the gains in performance that High Schools That Work advocates and supports through assessment, staff development and technical assistance.”  
            More than 1,100 high schools in 32 states participate in the HSTW school improvement initiative, which is based on the premise that most students can master rigorous academic and career/technical studies if school leaders and teachers create a school environment that is motivational, challenging and supportive. The HSTW initiative is the nation’s first large-scale effort to engage state, district and school leaders in partnership with teachers, students, parents and the community to equip all students with the knowledge and skills needed to graduate from high school and succeed in college and the workplace.
            The Career Center serves approximately 630 high school students at its main campus and around 1,200  more through satellite programs at the seven high schools in Greene County. In addition, GCCC serves as a regional leader in career preparation programs for adults, community education offerings for citizens of all ages, and customized training for business and industry.
