Students in Mrs. Byrd's class have been presenting their STEAM Career Research Project. Students spent nearly two weeks on this project. Students completed an interest inventory to select a career that fell under a STEAM category - Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, or Mathematics. Students then completed research questions and a source page. While completing research, students were required to refer to the SGCHS Student Handbook to inquire about classes that could help prepare them for the career they selected. Next, students had to create a realistic budget based on the starting salary for their career in Tennessee. Finally, students created and presented a presentation to the class. Many careers were explored such as a civil engineer, medical scientist, marine biologist, software developer, and an anesthesiologist.
Thank you to Centennial Bank for partnering with 7th graders at SGCMS to teach students about jobs in banking and job preparedness skills each quarter. Students always enjoy their swag and “rewards” for their participation!
Each quarter in Career Awareness at SGCMS students prepare a resume and work to participate in Mock Interviews with community partners. Students are practicing their interview questions and preparing for their upcoming interviews.
Thank you to Tennessee Highway Patrol for partnering with SGCMS 7th graders each quarter. Trooper Chris Jones speaks to students about careers in law enforcement, making wise choices, and planning for their futures. The students enjoy seeing his vehicle and special equipment as well.
Thank you to Leaders Credit Union and Mr. Shea Brown for working to teach 8th graders at SGCMS about the real world of budgeting. He took time to lead students through a financial simulation in Career Awareness. Students were assigned a career, spouse, and child and then chose food, housing, transportation, etc. to attempt to have a balanced budget for one month.
On Tuesday, May 13th, 8th grade students will hand in their school issued laptops. Please make sure your student brings their laptop, case, and charger. Any stickers or writing on the laptops should be removed to avoid a fine.
There will be an informational meeting for all parents of students who plan to participate in any SGCMS athletic program during the 2025-2026 school year on May 12th at 6 p.m. at SGCMS. Coaches will be introduced and available for your questions.
