Reed Partrick of Gainesville poses for a picture at the Masada in Israel. He was there in 2014 with the global education and arts organization, Up With People. He is spending another semester with the group this year, which includes a stop in Hall County this week.
Like many high school graduates, Reed Partrick did not know what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. The 2012 North Hall High School graduate knew he wanted to go to college eventually, but “wasn’t sure what I wanted to study.” Instead, the Georgia native opted to enter into the workforce, taking a full-time job at a clothing store at the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville.
