Young Harris College announced Dr. Claudie Massicotte as the recipient of the Vulcan Teaching Excellence Award at its 2019 Academic Convocation. It was established in 1991 to honor outstanding professors on select member campuses of the Georgia Independent College Association. Policy 3450 for Honor Students and Class Rankings was the subject of much discussion at the October Cherokee School Board meeting.
