Brenda Gallagher (left) and Debra Smith (right) receive their exit packets from Laree Thomas, OTC computer instructor, indicating that they are eligible for graduation from the Computer Applications program and will receive their Technical Certificate of Credit this month.

Gallagher and Smith began taking classes in the Computer Applications program as part of their staff development training with nine other Blackshear Elementary teachers a little over a year ago. After the staff development training, these two lifelong learners decided to continue their education and earn a Computer Applications TCC.

Gallagher has retired from the school system since and is currently utilizing her new skills with Barry Roberts and Associates in Blackshear. Debra is the ESOL teacher at Blackshear Elementary.
