Two local Future Ready Institutes will soon have enough room to reach their full potential.
This fall, the industry-themed learning communities at Ooltewah High School and Central High School will move into the Harrison Bay campus currently home to Hamilton County High School, whose program is being reworked.
The larger facility will expand the amount of physical space available, creating more learning opportunities for both groups of students.
Hamilton County High, which has existed to provide an alternative for students throughout the entire county who have been unable to fit into a traditional high school setting, will become the home of two of the district’s Future Ready Institutes next school year.For those enrolled in Ooltewah High’s Future Ready Institute, which focuses on architecture and engineering design, the extra space will allow for less-restricted experimentation.
While OHS’ current accommodations are sufficient for computer-centric design activities, its classrooms are often limiting when instructors seek to undertake more ambitious projects, such as designing, building and flying drones.
