Clarkesville, GA — North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) student Christie Campbell of Bowersville, Ga., and Adult Education Department instructor Randy Wood of Carnesville, Ga., were recognized as the 2024 NGTC Adult Education student and instructor of the year at the recent Habersham Rotary meeting.
Campbell and Wood will represent NGTC at the Dinah Culbreath Wayne Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) Leadership Institute in Atlanta March 25-27, 2024.

This recognition program is designed to create greater awareness of educational opportunities that are available in local communities across the state and to foster greater involvement in lifelong learning pursuits.
Campbell completed her GED through the North Georgia Technical College Franklin County Adult Education Center in January of 2023. She is currently employed by Chick-fil-A of Lavonia as the catering director.
Wood is a full-time instructor and has taught in the NGTC Adult Education Department for three years. In addition to teaching day and evening high school equivalency preparation classes on the NGTC Currahee campus, he also teaches at the Franklin County Adult Education Center.

She has a very bright future ahead! And Randy is such a dedicated instructor who goes above and beyond for his students.
