Annual Report 2016 Student Highlights
The College and Career Academy’s VEX Robotics organization has
evolved from an exploration of robotics in the engineering classroom
to a robotics state contender. Our team has improved each year and
we have accumulated an impressive array of medals from our
tournament winnings over the past 3 years, 2016 was no exception.
As our students participate in local competitions, we make every
attempt to learn, educate, and inspire the teams we play with and
against. Each year our teams have been awarded sportsmanship
awards due to this team mindset.
Composed of three teams, 3921 A, B , and C, our organization in the
2015-16 school year placed in 5 of the 7 local tournaments we
participated in during the 2015-16 school year, playing the VEX game
TossUP. All three of our teams earned spots in our state tournament
in which the 60 top teams (of Georgia’s 300+ robotics teams) were
invited. Invitations to this event are earned due to excellence,
technical merit, or by placing first in a local tournament. One of our
teams entered the state competition by being selected by a panel of
engineers earning the highest VEX award given at a competition, the
Excellence Award. Another team was a tournament champion, and
the third won the Design Award.
At the 2015-16 State Tournament, one team achieved a second place
in state and another made it to the quarter finals of competition. Two
of our three teams earned spots to the international VEX Worlds
Tournament.
We traveled to the VEX Worlds event in Louisville, KY for the second
time since establishing the team just four years ago. While in
Louisville, we placed well, in the upper half of our brackets, and were
very pleased with the level of competition we achieved.
Students join the College and Career Academy VEX Robotics
Organization to design robots, test them, and compete with them.
Students also join us for life changing personal growth through the
exchange of intellectual engineering ideas, they forge new friendships
and camaraderie, they share ideologies, explore hypothetical visions,
and they meld individual ideas into one. They become a team.

When it comes to making it in the real world,
knowledge and experience go hand-in-hand. But it can
be difficult for young professionals to gain the
experience they need to be successful in the workforce.
To help open the door to opportunities, Tanner Health System
partnered with Carroll County Schools to develop Tanner
Connections. This initiative, which provides high school students
experience and valuable mentoring in a healthcare setting, is
changing the future for the county’s students.
“Tanner Connections is an incredibly powerful tool that allows us to
reach out to young people in our community and help them fulfill
their potential,” said Danna Deering, education specialist for Tanner
Health System. “We provide professional mentoring and hands-on work experience in the student’s
area of interest. Students also learn ‘soft’ skills that lead to success, including character develop-
ment, professionalism, customer service, listening skills, networking and more.”
The Tanner Connections program began in 2011. Since this time, approximately 15 students have
participated in the program. Students choose a pathway of interest at the academy, such as infor-
mation technology, nursing, marketing, engineering or others. After taking required coursework in
their pathway, they can apply and be selected to participate in Tanner Connections.
Although Tanner Connections involves an investment of time and energy from many Tanner Health
System professionals, the program is highly valued. “These students provide a real service to our
health system and we hope to grow a future workforce among them,” said Deering. “Our mentors
truly care about these students and want them to excel. The program is very rewarding for everyone
who is a part of it.”

Annual Report 2016 Business Partnerships
Omni Call is a team of professional and friendly off-site receptionists. Wayne and Patty Payne founded OmniCall in the fall of 1989 after noticing the businesses of their town were in desperate need of friendly, personable
voices to manage their calls. Today, our OmniCall Receptionists answer the calls for thousands of businesses nationwide, providing companies with the top-notch service they deserve.
For several years, OmniCall has sporadically employed Carroll County students. When reviewing company employment trends, OmniCall realized that the high school Work Based Learning students were some of the best employees for their company. In the spring in 2013, Wayne and Patty Payne, along with Adam Wilkins, Vice President of Operations met with the College and Career Academy to set up a partnership, and by the fall of 2014, OmniCall had eight Carroll County Work Based Learning stu-dents employed. We are excited about the future of OmniCall and their partnership with Carroll County Schools.
