Culinary Arts:

We are excited to announce that we are going to partner with Nashville State Community College to offer culinary arts dual enrollment. Students are able to start this process as a junior. If they complete the program via Nashville State they will be a few credit hours short of an Associates of Science in Culinary Arts. This is an amazing opportunity and we are excited to offer it. We are in the process of getting this program up and going for the 23-24 school year. If you and your student are interested in finding out more about this opportunity, we are going to hold an interest meeting on December 5^th at 4:30 in the culinary room (A300). A representative from Nashville State will also be here to answer any questions you may have. If there is a need for a zoom link, we are able to do that also. If you have any questions please reach out to Mr. Jernigan at jerniganj@wcschools.

Deputy Chase Dillard, School Resource Officer at Green Hill High School, was recognized this morning at the Lebanon/Wilson County Chamber of Commerce for his quick actions that saved the life of an eighth-grade student on May 5, 2022. Deputy Dillard was successful in dislodging a foreign object that became lodged in the student’s throat which allowed the student to begin breathing normally again. 

In addition to the Medal of Valor received earlier in the year by the Wilson County Commission, the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee wanted to also recognize him for his meritorious service and unwavering commitment to others, and his astute service in Wilson County.
