SGCHS Parents,
Each year, we have the opportunity to take 25 or so students to tour our local manufacturing facilities. This year, due to COVID, we were not able to go in person. The Northwest TN Workforce Board has created two videos. One for students, highlighting their facilities, machinery, crew members, career opportunities and the products they create and construct. And, another video designed to inform parents of the many opportunities for their child right here in Northwest TN. Please take 5-6 minutes and watch the video. Thank you for your support.
