Stewart County High-school HOSA Club toured SGTC in Americus, Georgia today. HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) is a global organization that prepares students for careers in healthcare and related fields. The students learned about the school's history, application process, and financial aid. The students had an opportunity to see the campus, including the academic buildings, dorms, and dining halls. The students enjoyed their lunch in the campus dining hall, they got a sense of what the food is like on campus. The students also visited The Health Department and the library. We would like to thank Tylen, Pepito, Students Affairs Admission Counselor, for arranging the campus tour and Kadeem Williams, Student Affairs Assistant of Admissions for the wonderful campus tour. Our students got a feel for the campus environment.
