Georgia’s First College & Career Academy

Coweta County is the home to the first college and career academy in Georgia and serves as the model for the state’s program. Central Educational Center, which opened in 2000, is a partnership between the Coweta County School System, West Georgia Technical College and local business and industry.

Drawing students from Coweta County’s three high schools, CEC provides specialized courses to students based on targeted needs in the community, particularly those of Coweta’s businesses and industries. In addition to the advanced high school curriculum, CEC houses a portion of West Georgia Technical College and its college-level courses.

Both high school and adult age students earn valuable certifications in West Georgia Technical College courses. You can be assured that a student graduating from CEC has the skills necessary to become a productive member of the company team.
