There are so many great things happening at the Gordon County College and Career Academy of Design and Advanced Manufacturing! Today, students in Mrs. Stodghill's class are using graphic design to express who they are through creativity and visual arts.

Mrs. Stodghill worked with students as they created collage projects that represented their interests and personalities. Through this project, students explored how graphic design can combine images, color, layout, and meaning to communicate a message.

Graphic design gives students the opportunity to think creatively while building skills they can use in future careers.

College and Career Academy JROTC students are learning leadership, responsibility, and attention to detail.

Col. Steinbrecker worked with his level 3 students as they completed uniform inspections, an important part of learning discipline, professionalism, and pride in presentation. Through experiences like this, students gain a deeper understanding of the values connected to military service, including respect, accountability, teamwork, and personal excellence.

These lessons help prepare students to lead with confidence both in and out of the classroom.
