🚀 Week 1 has been a BLAST in Engineering!

Our students jumped right into the action with their first Instant Challenge, and they absolutely exceeded expectations! 👏

With popsicle sticks, rubber bands, a whole lot of tape, and even MORE creativity, our POE students created egg-cellent grabbers for “Fran’s Farm,” while our IED students took their launchers to whole new heights! 🥚🚀

Behind all of that creativity and innovation is our incredible instructor, Mrs. Solomon! 💙 Welcome to HCCA!! She has already challenged our students to think outside the box, get creative, problem-solve, and have a little fun along the way!

It’s already shaping up to be an incredible year, and we can’t wait to watch these students SOAR in CTE! 🦅💙

What a great evening at Skilled Trades Night with the Dothan Dragons! ⚽️

HCCA was proud to join Wallace Community College to share the many opportunities available through career and technical education. When schools, colleges, and our community work together, students win!

When our schools, local employers, and communities partner together, great things are bound to happen! Not only are we able to work together to build a stronger local workforce, but students are also able to bridge the skills gap, developing the confidence and work habits necessary to transition from the classroom to meaningful, career-oriented employment.

Through our Co-Op program, currently lead by Mrs. Dana Bell, Houston County Schools students have worked over 126,000 hours and had an economic impact of nearly 15 million dollars this past school year alone. That’s almost an 8,000,000 dollar increase from just last year! We are so proud of our students, Mrs. Bell’s leadership, the awesome opportunities provided through co-op, and all of our amazing local employers who help make all of this possible!
