 Fayette County High was the official site chosen by the Georgia Department of Education for a September 5 announcement of a collaboration with Microsoft Corp. to offer the Microsoft IT Academy Program statewide, providing students with real-world technology skills to help them thrive in the 21st century economy.
By working together with Microsoft, Georgia’s 463 high schools will have access to classroom lab licensing, learning content, lesson plans, teacher resources, professional development and class projects annually.
In addition, the 460,000 high school students in Georgia’s public schools can earn industry-recognized certifications on Microsoft programs that will help them pursue careers in business, technology, engineering, science, and beyond.
Business students at Fayette County High gave hands-on demonstrations showing how they are using the Microsoft IT Academy to expand their technology skills and prepare themselves for careers and the workforce.
