North Georgia Technical College issued the following announcement on Feb. 8.
North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) has named Kelly McFarland as the 2022 Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) winner and will represent the college at the Dinah Culbreath Wayne EAGLE Leadership Institute March 14-16, 2022.

“Recognizing these students who have worked diligently to achieve their goal of receiving their high school equivalency diploma and then to be selected as an EAGLE winner gives us great pride in our mission,” said NGTC Dean of Adult Education Shelby Ward. “We know she will represent North Georgia Technical College well at the next level of competition.”
