Lanett City Schools is committed to preparing students for success beyond graduation by equipping educators with meaningful, real-world learning experiences. In partnership with the Chambers County Development Authority, teachers and instructional staff serving grades 6–12 recently participated in the "Teachers on Tour" professional development program.
The experience began with an informative workforce panel featuring Mrs. Kim Shane of Smurfit Westrock, Mr. Tramontae Jackson of Hi-Lex, Mrs. Maria Coley of Knauf, and Ms. Ansley Emfinger from the Chambers County Development Authority. The panelists shared valuable insights about career opportunities available within our local industries, the skills employers are seeking, and the importance of developing a highly skilled workforce for the future.
Following the panel discussion, participants toured local manufacturing facilities where they observed advanced manufacturing processes, innovative technologies, and workplace operations firsthand. These experiences provided educators with a greater understanding of the knowledge and skills students need to be successful in today's workforce.
By connecting classroom instruction with local business and industry, Lanett City Schools continues to strengthen career awareness and workforce readiness for all students. The insights gained through this experience will help teachers integrate real-world applications into daily instruction, ensuring students are prepared to pursue college, careers, military service, and other postsecondary opportunities.
Lanett City Schools extends its sincere appreciation to the Chambers County Development Authority, Smurfit Westrock, Daedong Hi-Lex, Knauf, Ajin USA, Challenge, and all of our industry partners for investing in our educators and helping us prepare the next generation of leaders.
Together, we are building brighter futures - one classroom, one partnership, and one student at a time.
