Looking back at Academic Year 2020, it is certain that this past year has been one unlike any other we have experienced in our lifetime. Although much about this year looked very different from years past, Southern Crescent Technical College has continuously embraced change and stayed committed to our core values and our mission of workforce development.
We have proudly upheld our commitment to building strong communities by providing our citizens with the necessary skills and knowledge to enter the workforce while assisting them as they pursue their educational, career, and personal goals. This year more than ever, we take great pride in building strong students, strong careers, and strong communities.
McDONOUGH â Henry County Schools cut the ribbon, officially opening the new Learning and Support Center at the former Henry County Middle School.
The center is home to several district departments and programs designed to support the overall community, district leaders said.
âWe are proud to officially introduce this game-changing facility and operations to our community,â said Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis. âWhen McDonough Middle School was opened and Henry County Middle School was no longer a facility for daily instruction for students, an engaged group of citizens and education leaders met to decide the best use of the facility and how it could meet the needs of the community. What we have now is the result of the vision and plans that were developed.â
