Join us for the 10th Annual Student
Success Expo and STEM Festival on Saturday, January 5, 2019, at the Savannah
Mall from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. In addition to college and career
information, attendees will enjoy interactive displays and learn about all
public school options across the district while gaining valuable information
related to program pathways.
For the second year, the Expo will feature a “Teddy Bear Clinic”
which will focus on the Healthcare Science fields and showcase a collaboration
between the school district and local healthcare professions and post-secondary
institutions. In addition, for the first time this year, a
CPR course will be hosted for students, family and friends! The training will
include both Adult and Child Hands Only CPR and AED. All participants will
receive a certificate upon completion.

The 2019 Student Success Expo Planning Committee is also
excited to announce the continuation of the Young Entrepreneurs and Young
Inventors Showcase! The purpose of this showcase is to spotlight students in
our schools who have an entrepreneurial spirit or who have invented products
that make everyday life better. Any student with a business - perhaps their own
lemonade stand, jewelry line, cupcake business, event planning business, or is
a budding cosmetologist who braids hair or designs nails - we want to
showcase them and promote their business! We want the community to meet
our young inventors!
Other District program highlights include: Performing Arts,
Engineering, Welding, Aviation, Cosmetology, (Hair, Nails and Barbering),
Culinary, Medical & Allied Health, Construction, Automotive Repair and
Collision, Public Safety, and Logistics - just to name a few. Students
and parents will find a wide range of educational pathways that are sure to
inspire the thirst for knowledge and higher learning. Students will also
have an opportunity to apply and speak to college representatives from Harvard,
Georgia Southern, University of Georgia, Savannah State University, Savannah
Technical College, Morehouse, Spelman, St. Leo and other major colleges and
universities!
The Student Success Expo and STEM Festival is a signature event
for the District and continues to draw thousands of participants each year to
learn about the seamless transition from elementary, middle, and high school to
post-secondary education. The event helps make the connection between our
programs of study and college and career options through information available
at school, collegiate, and business displays. The Savannah-Chatham
County Public School System’s Choice Program Application process will also
kick-off at the Expo. Parents will be able to apply on-site for the
Choice school or program that meets their child’s interest (SY 19-20).
The event will include student competitions, interactive booth
displays, a robotics competition, and prize giveaways. Admission and
parking is free and open to the public.
