Fayette County High School definitely has something to BRAG ABOUT!

Very impressed to learn that two students earned three unique Microsoft Certifications this year in Microsoft Word 2010, Word Expert 2010, and PowerPoint 2010! But don’t think the success stops there. Jennifer Metcalfe’s students enrolled in the Business & Computer Science program finished the year with AMAZING SUCCESS and are walking away with industry recognized credentials from Microsoft! No, not just one of them, but a total of 140 students at Fayette County High School earned certification this year! Mrs. Metcalf’s classes exceeded the bar this semester as her 2nd period class had a 100% pass rate on the Microsoft Office Specialist exam and her 1st period had a 97% pass rate! Fayette County High School utilized the Microsoft IT Academy resources provided by the Georgia Department of Education to help prepare students to be college and career ready.

Mrs. Metcalf has been an advocate for her students to use the Microsoft IT Academy this year and encouraged her students to earn certification! She has the PROOF that she is MAKING A DIFFERENCE for her students. The Business & Computer Science program at Fayette County High School is strongly supported by Principal, Dr. Charles Warr, and CTAE Director, Ed Steil.

Fayette County High School can definitely BRAG ABOUT BUSINESS!
