The Catoosa County Public Schools (CCPS) Board proudly recognized 14 students in the Cybersecurity program at the College and Career Academy this week for their outstanding contributions to public safety. These talented students built the computers that are now in use at the Catoosa County 911 Center — technology that is helping save lives every day.

This impactful project was made possible through a collaboration between Scott Czerneski of Catoosa County Government and Bryan Ratliff, Cybersecurity teacher at the College and Career Academy. Their partnership provided students with a hands-on opportunity to apply their technical skills in a real-world setting, while also giving back to the community in a powerful way.

The CCPS Board commends the students for their dedication, innovation, and community service, noting that their work is a testament to the strength of career and technical education in Catoosa County.
