On October 25, 2016 High School High Tech students from Stephens County High School and Barrow County school system toured McLane Southeast and received a presentation on career opportunities, employment expectations, and a tour of the facility. The students also visited Athens Technical College and were given presentations by staff in Admissions, Financial Aide and Disability Services.

The Muscogee County High School High Tech program hosted a High School High Tech Rally at Columbus State University on October 7, 2016.
