Records set in Tallassee’s CTE, dual enrollment

Cliff Williams / The Tribune Tallassee High School agribusiness teacher Dr. Daniel Free coaches students on tying up cherry tomatoes. The plants are growing in gravel fed by water and waste from the tilapia below. The tomatoes will keep growing into the ceiling of the greenhouse.

Students graduating Tallassee High School are better prepared for the future than ever.

The Class of 2024 set records earning credentials and certificates in career technical education and in earning college credit. It has allowed students to enter the workforce the moment the tassel was turned. Some students who completed certifications as patient care technicians are already paying incoming taxes.
