DHS College & Career Academy THE WAY at Savannah State University: Students from Dublin High School and members of the College & Career Academy attended Open Campus Day at Savannah State University (SSU) on Saturday 10-28-2023. Students heard from admissions and financial aid representatives during their visit. DHS students were also able to tour the campus and dormitories. The Open Campus Day also included an opportunity for the DHS students to meet with SSU Ambassadors on the realities of being a college student. The open campus day tour concluded with a visit to the Academic Marketplace where students met with academic department leaders to discuss the many majors and minors that Savannah State University has to offer. The students were sponsored by the local Savannah State University Alumni Chapter and the Alpha Phi Alpha Educational Talent Search TRIO organizations. We are grateful for the partnership with both organizations.

REPRESENTATIVE MATT HATCHETT SEES MECHATRONICS LAB IN ACTION!
Representative Matt Hatchett recently stopped by the Dublin City Schools College and Career Academy to see our Mechatronics Lab in action! The newest pathway combines mechanics, electronics and computer technology - ensuring our students are ready for work upon graduation. “My dad’s an automation engineer, and I guess I want to follow in his footsteps,” said Dublin High School 9th Grader Marek Jaeger. “I think it’s a great class, especially since it’s giving us groundwork in coding on our micro boards and building robots.”
A direct result of local industry needs; our students were working on pocket-sized computers called micro bits when Mr. Hatchett visited. In addition to touring The WAY, Rep. Hatchett also paid a visit to the IGA’s STEAM Lab to observe the skills our elementary and middle school students are developing. This was especially interesting because Mr. Harvey is incorporating the basics of mechatronics into their curriculum.
21st Century After School Program: The 21st Century Afterschool Program is available to all students.
