Clarke County 10th graders experience the arts at UGA

What began as a vision for a Clarke Central High School social studies teacher became reality Nov. 10-11 as hundreds of Athens-Clarke County 10th graders visited the University of Georgia to explore the arts.

The students, from Clarke Central one day and Cedar Shoals High School the next, came to UGA as part of Experience UGA, a partnership between the university and the Clarke County School District designed to introduce students in grades preK-12 to the myriad academic opportunities at UGA. The 10th grade trips were scheduled to coincide with Spotlight on the Arts, an annual event designed to draw attention to UGA's visual, literary and performing arts programs.
