Major Beth Darnell, Rabun County Sheriff’s Office, kicked off our Fall Student Appreciation Days with a presentation about her job responsibilities and other job positions at the Detention Center. Her presentation included visuals of the cells as well as actual items that are issued to prisoners. The students were amazed at the lack of privacy in the jail cells and restrooms.

Our favorite time of year is here! The faculty and staff at the Rabun Campus of Mountain Education will celebrate Student Appreciation Days from September 14 – October 2. Several activities are planned that focus on recognizing our students while also incorporating activities to build relationships, have fun, and enhance learning. Don't miss out!
