Liberty FCCLA Students Holding Award CertificatesEach year the CTAE Division at the Georgia Department of Education hosts a Superintendent’s Recognition Session. On October 15, five students, Emily Armendariz (8th), Ethan Armendariz (7th), Zamya Delamar (8th), Clarkston Lowe (8th), and Ariana Neal (8th), from Liberty Middle School - Newton County School District were recognized by Superintendent Woods for their achievements both at the state and national level throughout the 2020-2021 school year.

“With nine Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) in Georgia and membership totaling over 148,000 students, less than 1% of the students were recognized at the recognition session,” said Felicia Wright Hodges, Chapter Advisor for Liberty Middle School. “Considering the multiple challenges the students faced during the 2020-2021 school year, this high honor is a testament that if you persevere through your challenges, there will be a reward on the other side.”
