​High School High Tech students from Glascock and Warren Counties participated in a tour of Augusta Technical College at the Augusta campus. Students met with the admissions staff and received a presentation on the application process which included deadlines for application submissions. They were also given information about financial aid, scholarships, and grants. Students were provided a presentation of programs of study and requirements for acceptance to specific programs. Students toured the campus so they could see different fields of studies that were offered. During the tour, they learned about academic and social experiences provided on the campus.

From January 12 to 14, Walnut Grove and Loganville High School High Tech students participated in the Walnut Grove Manufacturing Institute. It was located at Walnut Grove High School. The Manufacturing Institute is a 3-day training where students earn 3 certifications in OSHA-10, Lean Six Sigma White Belt, and Hands-Only CPR training. HSHT trainer Vernon Atkinson provided the training and certifications for these students. All fifteen students that attended received all 3 certifications. An employer presentation was given by Leggett and Platt. The Human Resources Coordinator at Leggett and Platt discussed career opportunities available at their location, job expectations, and the application process. The presentation was very interactive with the students participating with relevant questions. All the students were very excited to receive their certifications for OSHA, CPR, and Lean Six Sigma.
