Back in May, we shared a new partnership between Lumpkin County High School, Lanier Technical College, Satellite Industries, WorkSource Georgia Mountains, and Workforce Strategies Group. This partnership involving these 5 organizations was the first of its kind, and the success of the program would determine if we could provide this opportunity to more students. We are happy to announce that our six Class of 2022 students successfully completed the program and graduated on September 23rd with their 𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗿𝗰 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Boot Camp certificate! They are gainfully employed as welders with Satellite Industries right here in Lumpkin County. Congratulations, gentlemen! You not only set yourselves up for success, but you also paved the way for the future students of LC!

Georgia Association of Educational Leaders (GAEL) Executive Director Robert "Buddy" Costley attended the LC BOE meeting last night to present Superintendent Dr. Rob Brown with the 2022 Jim Puckett Outstanding Educator Award. Dr. Brown was the recipient of this award in recognition of his selfless leadership to not only the Dahlonega/Lumpkin County community but to all of public education in the entire state of Georgia. Mr. Costley shared with our BOE and meeting attendees that Dr. Brown was selected for this award in part due to his leadership as the immediate past Georgia School Superintendents Association (GSSA) President and specifically for his ongoing mentorship and service to new school superintendents in our state.
Congratulations, Dr. Brown! You continue to represent Lumpkin County Schools well as our fearless leader, and we appreciate all you do for your school system and for this state!
Additionally, BOE Chairman Bobby Self presented Superintendent Brown with an Ideal Indian Award as a token of the board’s appreciation for his leadership.
Just a quick reminder that today (Tuesday, 9/13) is an early-release day. Students will be released at 11:30 AM, so please plan accordingly. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the main number of your child's school.
