On April 9 & 10 students from AMS and ACHS participated in the Regional World of Opportunity Career Expo. They interacted with over fifty local businesses and engaged in activities related to a variety of job related skills. The goal was to give the new insights about careers and open possibilities for their future plans.
55 ACHS FFA Members were recently awarded their Greenhand and Chapter Degree Ceremony at the March FFA Meeting. In order to earn the degrees, students had to document Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) earnings, prove their FFA and parliamentary knowledge and demonstrate leadership in the chapter.
The Appomattox County Career and Technical Education (CTE) Advisory Council met in March to discuss progress made by CTE programs.

Interim Coordinator and School Liaison for CTE Programs, Ed McCann, presented preliminary data on industry credentialing exams and updated the councilmembers regarding the Carl D. Perkins CTE grant. Lastly, the group cast a vision for Appomattox County’s CTE programs for years to come. The school division expresses their appreciation for each community member who served on this year’s council.
