The Douglas County School System is celebrating statewide recognition for Alexander High School's agriculture program, which was recently featured on the front page of the Georgia Market Bulletin.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture publication feature story was officially released and quickly shared across the state when a former student of agriculture teacher Ryan Bragg spotted the publication and spread the word about Alexander High's front-page placement.
The recognition carries special significance as Alexander High's agriculture program was selected as the very first to be highlighted in the Bulletin's special focus on agricultural education programs across Georgia.
The century-old publication was distributed statewide, reaching every agriculture program in the state and bringing attention to Alexander High's agricultural education program.
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper demonstrated his commitment to agricultural education by funding subscriptions of the Georgia Market Bulletin for every agriculture program in Georgia throughout the school year. This investment ensured that Alexander High School's feature reached educators and students across the state.
The front-page feature showcases the program's impact, growth, and commitment to preparing students for careers in Georgia's largest industry. The statewide recognition also celebrates Douglas County School System educators like Bragg, who are shaping the next generation of Georgia's agricultural leaders.
