The Tech @ SAHS
Overview
Exposure to technology at South Atlanta High School does not just happen in the Information Technology Pathway. We encourage and engage students in the use of technology in a variety of ways that include art, media and communication. Many of their efforts have been entered into the district technology fair and has garnered winning medals and the district and state levels.

Technology Fair Competitions
"The Georgia Educational Student Technology Competition (GASTC) is an annual student technology competition produced by the Georgia Educational Technology Consortium. The Consortium sponsors other technology initiatives in Georgia, including the Georgia Educational Technology Conference (GaETC). The GASTC is the highest level of student technology competition in Georgia with over 750 projects, representing the work of 1000+ students, judged at the competition each March." - The GASTC Website
