By using a co-curricular format, the CTAE department works with the Career, Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) to enrich the curriculum in the CTAE Pathways. Hands-on, real world learning experiences offered through participation in CTSOs greatly enhance the rigorous curriculum provided by the traditional classroom experience.
Henry County’s CTSOs strive to help students lay the foundation and build the skills necessary for chapters to achieve success. Each CTSO is full of interesting and exciting programs in which to get involved at the local, state, and national levels. Fall, State, and National Leadership Conferences provide opportunities for students to learn leadership skills, network with other students, and participate and excel in knowledge and skill performances.

Pathways at a Glance..............Inside Back Cover
Career pathways are state-approved career enhancement programs defined as a coherent, articulated sequence of rigorous academic and career related courses usually commencing in the ninth grade and leading to an associate degree, an industry-recognized certificate or licensure, and/or a baccalaureate degree and beyond.
Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) provides all Georgia students with the opportunity to select at least three sequenced electives in a career pathway, along with recommended academic course work, to prepare them to continue their education at any level or to enter the world of work.
Selection of a pathway will be based on self-awareness and the investigation of occupations plus related educational levels aligned with the pathway. Most high-demand, high-skilled, high-wage occupations in all concentrations still do require education beyond high school. Implementation of career pathways is a collaborative effort between the local system, the Technical College System of Georgia and the University System of Georgia.

Agriculture Education (Ag Ed) nurtures leaders in every field imaginable. While some Ag Ed students come from farm families, the vast majority do not. Over 98% of pathway completers go on to work or study in a nonfarm, agriculture-related career.
There are three interrelated components to the program: classroom and laboratory experiences, the Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (SAEP), and FFA. The Ag Ed program combines agricultural technical skills with rigorous coursework, leadership training, an exploration of the ethical and philosophical issues related to genetic engineering, the impact of agriculture on the environment, and other current agricultural topics.
The opportunities for students with solid Ag Ed skills are booming in fields such as agriscience, animal science, biotechnology, turf management, landscaping, food science, forestry, environmental science, agricultural engineering, agribusiness management, and veterinary medicine.

Students in any of the CTAE program concentrations who want to enhance their leadership skills, improve their physical and mental fitness, and be part of an elite team can choose to participate in Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC).
Henry County Schools offer both Navy and Air Force JROTC programs. JROTC cadets are not obligated to commit to military service. However, many cadets find that they enjoy military discipline and structure because it brings out their best and allows them to excel. Some win appointments to one of the military academies, and those who enlist can enter military service at a higher rank and pay grade.
JROTC training improves the ability to study, take tests, set goals, and better focus on academics. These are the tools every student needs to improve grades and to better prepare to attend college.
Many programs have Color Guard, Orienteerings, Academic Teams, and Drill teams. Others offer an Air Rifle team – which is a Georgia High School Association varsity athletic sport.

Work-Based Learning (WBL) represents the pinnacle of the Career-Related Education experience.
Students must also have a defined pathway in order to participate in the Work-Based component of Career-Related Education. This is especially important for successful application of a student’s pathway because each job placement is directly related to the curriculum of the classes completed or in which the student is currently enrolled. Work-Based Learning is not simply work release, but an extension of the high school classroom learning in a non-traditional laboratory setting. It is an opportunity to truly apply, in real world settings, what the student has learned through a related program of study.
There are several opportunities for students to participate in Work-Based Learning. These opportunities include Cooperative Education, Internship, Youth Apprenticeship, and Clinical Experiences.
WORK-BASED LEARNING
Academy for Advanced Studies
Students from all Henry County high schools may participate in this innovative program which is located on the campus of Henry County High School. Students will maintain enrollment at their home school while participating in Academy for Advanced Studies programs on a “shared-time basis”. The state-of-the-art career/tech programs of study offered at the Academy are not offered through the home high schools. Henry County Schools will provide transportation to and from each of the home high schools!
What does this mean for me? It means you will take some of your classes at the Academy and some of your classes at your home school. You can also participate in all extra-curricular activities (athletics, band, drama, clubs, etc.) at your home high school.
How is the Academy for Advanced Studies different than other high schools? Partnerships with Clayton State University, Gordon State College, and Southern Crescent Technical College have established the Academy as a satellite campus so students can earn high school credit as well as college credit upon successful completion of each course. Participation in these programs requires application and acceptance into the post-secondary institution.
How do I sign up?There is no application for participation. Contact your school counselor for open house and registration schedule.

What is Dual Enrollment?Dual enrollment (DE) programs allow high school students to earn both high school and college credit for the same course. Students may enroll in college courses full-time or part-time, and may take courses during or after regular school hours on the college campus,online, or at the high school. These programs are designed to provide challenging opportunities while allowing students to get an early start on college and ease the transition.
How does Dual Enrollment Work?In order to participate in Dual Enrollment, students must apply and be accepted to a participating eligible post-secondary institution. Students who attend DE courses through USG and TCSG will not pay any tuition or mandatory fees, and books will be provided. Course-related fees, such as lab fees or supplies, will be the responsibility of the student. Courses taken through DE will not impact HOPE Eligibility or the amount of HOPE money a student receives. Students enrolled in at least 12 semester hours or 15 quarter hours are considered full time DE students. Satisfactory academic progress is required to continue participation in DE.
Who is eligible to participate?DE students must be enrolled in an eligible high school. Georgia defines eligible high schools to include: Georgia public and private high schools and home study programs within the State of Georgia operated in accordance with O.C.G.A. 20-2-690(c). Students must apply and be accepted to the post-secondary institution they wish to attend. Students must complete an annual Participation Agreement with their local high school.
What about transportation?Through agreements with Southern Crescent Technical College, Gordon State College, and Clayton State University, students can enroll in DE classes located on the Academy for Advanced Studies campus with transportation provided twice daily to and from the home high schools. Transportation to other colleges or the main campuses of the colleges listed above is the responsibility of the student.
How is credit awarded?Students will receive high school and college credit simultaneously when attending and passing approved college classes. Students may select only the postsecondary credit hour courses listed in the DE Course Directory located on www.gatracs.org.
How do I get started?Students interested in participating in Dual Enrollment should contact their high school counselor in January of each year, as Dual Enrollment and the post-secondary institutions have application deadlines beginning in March.
