Sophomores at Tekonsha High School enjoyed a presentation from a CACC representative on Tuesday, October 29. Tekonsha grad and former THS teacher Ms. Michele Hall, came to present on all of the various programs available at the CACC. Current Tekonsha students that are in the programs also presented to underclassmen and helped answer questions.
Sophomores will also be taking a visit to the CACC later in the year to get even more exposure to their options before signing up for classes next fall!
