North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) has announced that Christie Campbell and Randy Wood have been named the winners of the 2024 NGTC Adult Education Student and Instructor of the Year awards.
Campbell, a student at the NGTC Franklin County Adult Education Center, completed her GED in January 2023 and is currently working as the catering director for Chick-fil-A of Lavonia.

Campbell and Wood will represent NGTC at the Dinah Culbreath Wayne Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) Leadership Institute later this month. This annual awards program, sponsored by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), recognizes excellence among adult education students and is designed to raise awareness of educational opportunities available to adult learners in communities across the state.
“Christie has worked tremendously, and we are so very proud of her accomplishments,” says NGTC Dean for Adult Education Shelby Ward. “She has a very bright future ahead! And Randy is such a dedicated instructor who goes above and beyond for his students. He provides quality instruction, utilizing all available technology, and we celebrate his wonderful achievement and are very proud of his excellent work with his students!”
Each of the 22 colleges in the TCSG selects EAGLE award winners. The statewide winner will be named during the leadership institute in Atlanta March 25-27.
Since its inception in 1993, the EAGLE Award program has recognized more than 1600 outstanding students across the state, according to the TCSG website.
