NGTC NEWS
Just released and coming soon to a newspaper or radio station near you!
the new classrooms and labs has given
everyone on campus some elbow room.
Programs such as the community favorite
Culinary Arts and also the Early Childhood
Education and Care, which started just last
semester, now have a classroom to call
home on the campus.
NGTC Cuts Ribbon on New Currahee
Campus Classrooms
Patience, perseverance, and community
commitment paid off in a big way on
Tuesday, October 8, 2014, when North
Georgia Technical College officially cut the
ribbon on the Currahee Campus’s new
classroom wing.
“Today is an exciting day for North Georgia
Tech and for the community that made this
happen,” said NGTC President Dr. Gail
Thaxton. “It took many diverse groups of
people to bring this dream to reality. We
appreciate this very special community
which constantly supports our efforts and
our students. You are here today because
this community wanted meeting space,
programs to prepare our workforce, and
higher education that is accessible and
affordable, and we are proud to continue
providing those to you.”
When the campus opened in 2005, it
seemed improbable that full capacity would
be reached so quickly. With an eye toward
future enrollment growth, the present
building was designed to accommodate
additional wings when course and student
numbers dictated the need for increased
space. By 2009, it was apparent that the
time had come to move forward on those
plans.
“Our vision is to graduate a highly skilled
workforce for businesses and industry,” said
Technical College System of Georgia Board
Member Dinah Wayne. Students, you are
the reason we are here today. We are here
to train you to take your place in the
workforce.”
The 31,000 square foot addition houses
mostly health care programs including
Practical Nursing, Emergency Medical
Programs, and Medical Assisting.
Furthermore, moving those programs into
“This building is more than brick and
mortar,” said Thaxton. “It is giving students
the opportunity to acquire knowledge and
skills to make them competitive in the
workforce. It is providing the opportunity for
learning that will last for a lifetime.”
“Community development, workforce
development, and economic development
are hard work,” said Tim Martin, Stephens
County Economic Development Authority.
Martin called out the efforts of Jeannette
Jamison and Jim Butterworth in particular.
“This is a result of great leaders in action.
What do we do now? We continue to strive
every day to make tomorrow better.”

College’s programs of study, contact 706754-7700 or visit www.northgatech.edu.
