We’re profoundly proud of their commitment and perseverance.”

Eligible candidates demonstrate leadership skills, good citizenship, and have been accepted into an accredited university, college, or technical school with a major in health care-related fields.
Southern Trinity High School has earned a Career Choices gold medal in recognition of their implementation of the nationally acclaimed Get Focused…Stay Focused! curriculum, the district announced this week.
The honor, awarded by curriculum publisher Academic Innovations, is reserved for the top schools in the country that are dedicated to promoting student success, college and career readiness, post-secondary completion, and successful skilled entry into the workforce.
“We love recognizing hardworking and talented educators across the country, but the real winners are the students and their communities,” Mindy Bingham, author of the Career Choices series curriculum and CEO of Academic Innovations,said in a preparedstatement. “Thanks to the efforts of these dedicated teachers and administrators, students are set up for long-term success with meaningful 10-year plans to guide them toward achieving their career and life goals.”
Southern Trinity is a shining example of student success, exceeding the state average in graduation rate and SAT readiness.
“Career Choices and Changes has given our students the reality of possibilities for the future and they are able to envision training beyond high school,” said Cindy Dixon, program instructor at Southern Trinity. “This program has brought CTE (Career and Technical Education) to our students that were not available before.”
This is Southern Trinity’s fifth year achieving gold medal status.
