Educational services are the second largest industry, accounting for about 13 million jobs. Lumpkin County High School’s, Teaching As A Profession, program provides students with an opportunity to learn about a career in Education and use their acquired skills while in high school. Third year students intern in our Pre-K program, Cottrell Elementary and Little Indian Bus.

Upon completion of sequenced courses in the Teaching as a Profession Pathway, students are eligible to complete the Industry-Recognized student credential for fulfillment of the End of Pathway Assessment. Secondary students completing the
Teaching as a Profession pathway will be able to sit for the National Industry
Credentialed assessment offered on-line from State Developed Credential.

Teachers educate children, guiding them through their early years, serving as mentors and training them on both academics and personal skills. A background in education can also lead to becoming a counselor, librarian, coach, and even principal.Once mastery is reached, students will receive recognition for completion and use this credential in conjunction with their job or continuing training.
