Greene CTC Challenge Program
Students from Greene County CTC were introduced to The Challenge Program, Inc. during an orientation assembly at their school last fall. The assembly theme was The Real Game of Life, a board game spin-off that reveals to students the positive outcomes to the important choices they face every day for career-readiness and success both in and beyond the classroom and how to earn cash incentives. During the assembly, students in the sophomore, junior and senior classes were introduced to local career opportunities. Throughout the year, they will be eligible to compete for financial awards in five areas linked with academic and workplace success: Attendance, Academic Improvement, Academic Excellence, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and Community Service. The business partner for Greene County CTC during the 2018-2019 school year is Dominion Energy. At the end of the assembly, five juniors and five seniors from Greene County CTC received awards for the work they accomplished last year during the 2017-2018 school year in the five above-mentioned categories.
