The past few years we have put a heavy emphasis on building stronger relationships at Central. Our next step in doing so is to tell you a little about ourselves! Each week you will see posts highlighting a team member. Feel free to comment to tell us what we have in common!

#ClaytonCountyBEST would like to thank Clayton County Development Group and Darla Kelchen for continuing to work with students on STEM BEST projects. Dan McGreal and Elliot Kelly shot drone footage of housing developments around the county and Logan Metzger edited the videos and produced posters for each development. They also worked with Clayton County Assessor Andy Loan to complete the project. Hopefully this project will help increase awareness of housing options and attract new construction to the communities in Clayton County.
