Chattahoochee Technical College was in the news twice last week, as its new president, Ron Newcomb, answered a few on-camera questions about the college and his vision for it; later in the week, we learned that Firehouse Subs donated more than $15,000 to the school’s police department.
In other school news, we gave you a video wrap-up Friday of Thursday night’s public meeting on the redistricting of P.B. Ritch Elementary.
