EPHS CTI Coordinator Honored at the 2016 GACTE Summer Leadership Conference

Ples C. Davis, CTI Coordinator, at East Paulding High School was named the 2016 Carl Perkins Outstanding Service Award winner at the GACTE Summer Conference in July.
This award is presented each year at the conference to recognize an individual ACTE/GACTE members who has displayed a dedication to the improvement of Career and Technical Education’s impact on the lives of individuals and local communities across the state of Georgia and beyond. The award was established in 1985 in honor of the late Rep. Perkins and is designed to recognize individuals who have demonstrated the same humanitarian concerns exemplified by Rep. Perkins.
Mr. Davis was also nominated for GACTE “Teacher of the Year” (this award is to recognize an individual currently employed as a full-time classroom/laboratory CTE teacher at the middle or secondary school level), but due to the organization’s awards rules he could only be entered in one category of the awards program.
Mr. Davis would like to thank all the countless number of teachers, students, administrators, friends and community leaders for their support because without them this award would not be possible.
