Sims Auto Student on a Career Path
The Barrow County School System offers the Automobile Maintenance and Light Repair pathway through the Sims Academy of Innovation and Technology in a state of the art automotive lab located on the Lanier Technical College Barrow Campus. This pathway prepares students to properly repair, service, and maintain import and domestic vehicles. Dakota "Cody" Lillibridge completed the automotive pathway on his way to graduating from Winder-Barrow High School in 2016, and for the past several months he has been working at Jim Ellis Chevrolet. Jim Ellis is a business partner to Sims Academy's automotive program providing speakers to inform students about industry standards, hiring needs, employer expectations after hiring, and advancement opportunities in their industry. Building on the skills he learned in high school, Mr. Lillibridge is now taking advantage of training offered by the dealership and through General Motors to earn certification as a transmission technician. Mr. Lillibridge looks forward to a growing career to include advancement opportunities in the automotive maintenance and repair field.
Pledging to Be Distinguished on the Milestones
Kennedy Elementary is getting ready for the Georgia Milestones this month with a daily dress theme. Students and staff have dressed as twins, nerds, superheroes, and worn their favorite sports team shirts. Students, dressing as if they were 100 years old, were pledging to give 100% while others were "Formally" pledging to work to be "Distinguished" on the Georgia Milestones.
Barrow County Milestones testing is April 3-13 for grades 3-8. Let's support our BOLD students on their road to success!
