Central Educational Center

Central Educational Center (CEC) is a charter school in Coweta County, Georgia designed and operated by a partnership among business and industry, Coweta County Schools, and West Central Technical College. CEC's mission is "to ensure a viable 21st century workforce." Our focus is on seamless education, which we accomplish by breaking down barriers between academics and career/technical classes, between high school and college, and between education and the workplace. Students at CEC are called "team members," and they voluntarily enroll from all the county's high schools. CEC's unique blend of academic and technical courses prepares team members for the workforce or additional post-secondary education. Team members also have the option of taking dual-enrollment courses at CEC as early as age 16 - simultaneously earning credit toward a high school diploma and technical college credit. Students may take college level courses from West Central Technical College. Students must complete the admissions process to attend. Students have the opportunity to participate in work-based learning through job shadowing, clinical rotation, cooperative education, and Youth Apprenticeship. The school day begins at 8:15am. Students may drive or take the bus from their base high school. Driving is a privilege and students should bring their base high school parking pass to the front office and be issued a parking sticker for CEC. Attendance is part of the work ethic grade. Students may attend as follows: First and Second Blocks or Third and Fourth Blocks
