While most students study and learn within a traditional classroom setting, every year Hall County permits a select group to wander beyond the walls of their high school. Working with businesses, local hospitals and other organizations, these students are given the opportunity to prepare hands-on for their future careers. Thursday night at the Lanier Career Charter Academy in Gainesville, the students offered summaries of their experiences with presentations that analyzed issues found within their respective area of study.
