Off-Campus Learning

On September 8, Tallulah Falls School eighth graders experienced the first North Georgia Technical College Color Tours event. Before the tour, students chose a color based on their passions and career interests; their choice determined which customized tour route they followed with their color group’s tour guide during the event. TFS students learned more about college-level study programs ranging from photography and cosmetology to a medical simulation lab and EMT/paramedic training.

Other featured programs included metal robotics, computer programming, welding, automotive repair, and electrical line worker training.

Eighth grade student Delaney Johnson’s feedback was positive. “In just the few short hours we were there, curiosity was sparked,” Johnson said. “We enjoyed learning about our current interests and what the future may hold.”
