Southeastern Early College and Career Academy - http://seccaeducation.org

What is SECCA?

Organized as a charter school/regional career academy for high school students, SECCA is an educational partnership between four Georgia school systems (Montgomery County Schools, Toombs County Schools, Treutlen County Schools, and Vidalia City Schools) and Southeastern Technical College (STC). SECCA is the first charter school/regional career academy partnership in Georgia where students from more than one school district will attend classes together. 

What is the purpose of SECCA?

By pooling our resources and working together for the common good of all students, SECCA partners will increase academic and career/technical education course opportunities for high school students in the Toombs, Montgomery, and Treutlen County area. As a result, high school students who participate in SECCA classes can take high school and college courses that are directly relevant to their career and educational goals. The expansion of relevant educational opportunities for all students will have a positive impact on student achievement, graduation rates, career outcomes for students, and the overall economic development of our community.
