Whether you’re a pro or just there for the vibes, it’s 18 holes, a driving range, and lunch from the Ritz Carlton. Not bad, right? Every dollar raised goes to the Humane Society of Morgan County, a no-kill shelter that’s been saving dogs and cats for over 30 years. They’ve found homes for thousands of animals and rely entirely on donations and volunteers to keep going. Want in? Sign up at humanemorgan.org/golf. STORY 3: CTAE continues to impact workforce, graduation, literacy New data from Georgia’s CTAE Advantage Dashboard highlights just how much Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) is shaping students’ futures—and the numbers don’t lie. Across the state, every key indicator improved from 2023 to 2024. CTAE students? They’re thriving. Graduation rates for CTAE concentrators hit 97.9%, and postsecondary placement—college, jobs, or the military—rose to 96.7%. Even reading readiness saw a bump. And those work-based learning programs? Over 32,000 students earned a combined $144 million working with Georgia employers. Want to see your district’s data? Check out the dashboard at Georgia Insights.

This program’s been around for 25+ years, fueled by the kindness of local businesses and neighbors. Applications for this year’s program will be accepted Nov. 12-13 at the Public Safety Complex.
