OTC's Hillari Brown Wins
Dual Enrollment Award

Ogeechee Technical College High School Coordinator, Hillari Brown, was recently recognized by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) for her success in Dual Enrollment initiatives.  Dual enrolled students are those who take technical college courses at their own high schools.  Ogeechee Tech has Dual Enrollment options at Evans County High School, Screven County High School, Portal High School, Southeast Bulloch High School, and Statesboro High School.  Brown’s award was the Dual Enrollment Achievement Award for 100 percent increase in Dual Enrollment from 2008 to 2010, and was presented at the TCSG High School Coordinators Peer Group meeting in College Park, Georgia.  Sheila Caldwell, High School Initiatives Coordinator for the Technical College System of Georgia, made the presentation.

“This award is a great honor for me, but I have to acknowledge that recruiting and supporting our high school initiatives is a team effort at Ogeechee Tech.  I am grateful to have the support of faculty and staff at the College, and at the high schools, in building our Dual Enrollment program,” stated Brown.  Ogeechee Technical College President, Dr. Dawn Cartee expressed her pleasure in seeing Brown receive the honor.  “I congratulate Hillari on this recognition, and especially want to thank her for all of her efforts in building Dual Enrollment at our high schools.  This program is a great way for high school students to get a jump start on their education beyond high school, and I only hope that more and more will take advantage of this opportunity,” stated Cartee.
