CTAE ANNOUNCES PARTENERSHIP WITH BLUE BIRD CORPORATION

February 19, 2021 The Career, Technology & Agricultural Education Department would like to announce a new partnership with Blue Bird Corporation. The Peach County High School’s Advanced Automotive Technology students will be piloting a program that will allow students to earn the Blue Bird Associate Level Technician Certification. The certification program which aligns with the current curriculum will provide students with entry level certification to perform basic maintenance tasks and troubleshooting on Blue Bird buses. We are also pleased to announce a new annual scholarship opportunity provided by Blue Bird. Blue Bird is providing two scholarships worth $2,500 each to one Automotive Technician pathway completer and one completer of the Agricultural Mechanics pathway, which includes courses that heavily emphasize manufacturing skills such as welding, wood cutting, and electrical theory. These scholarships will help fund two deserving students’ post-secondary costs. This partnership with Blue Bird will help Peach County CTAE to support our goal in preparing students for college and careers.

Daemon would like to share: “My favorite composer is someone named Toby Fox. He’s well-versed in several forms of media and a lot of his work leans towards retro electronic works. His music reads to be simple at face value, while hiding a deeper complexity for those more experienced on music to appreciate. I look up to him as a creative for a lot of things, but his music is a pretty big one.”
