Four Bleckley County High School seniors will graduate with extra honors as part of Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s Dual Enrollment Program. Georgia’s Dual Enrollment Program allows qualified high school students to maximize their education and career training by taking courses that earn college and high school credit at the same time. Under Dual Enrollment, students may take academic core courses that can transfer to Technical College System of Georgia colleges or University System of Georgia (USG) colleges and universities. Students may also take occupational and career courses that can help jump start a career.  The Bleckley seniors who are among 141 dual enrollment graduates are Briggs Dominy (Lathe Operator), Hayden Eveans (Basic Shielded Metal Arc Welder, Gas Metal Arc Welder, Gas Tungsten Arc Welder), Alexander Jones(Lathe Operator),, and Mattie Stokes (Basic Shielded Metal Arc Welder, Gas Metal Arc Welder, Gas Tungsten Arc Welder).

(Photo courtesy news release.) Bleckley Primary Pre-K teacher Erica Mimbs is one six finalists for Georgia Pre-K Teacher of the Year.

Jacobs in a statement. “The primary reason for the program’s success is, without question, the committed professionals who teach Georgia’s four-year-old students every day. Recognizing outstanding Pre-K Teachers of the Year provides an opportunity to thank them for their hard work and commitment.” The winner will be announced in the fall.
