The students, representing three CTSOs, are:

Noor Khan, Cambridge High School – SkillsUSA national president

Tiffany Kim, Wesleyan School – TSA national reporter

Emma Grace Maisonneuve, Franklin County High School – TSA national sergeant-at-arms

“These four outstanding students exemplify the leadership, professionalism, and commitment to service that Georgia’s career and technical student organizations cultivate,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “Their accomplishments demonstrate how CTAE delivers for Georgia students — connecting their learning to their goals and preparing them to lead in their communities, careers, and beyond. Graham, Noor, Tiffany, and Emma Grace will represent our state exceptionally well as they inspire students across the nation. Their success reflects our mission of preparing all students for life, and I congratulate them, along with the educators, advisers, families, and communities who have supported them.”

The students’ national leadership reflects the growing strength and reach of Georgia’s CTSOs, which are an integral component of Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE). Through CTSOs, CTAE delivers opportunities for students to apply what they learn in the classroom through leadership development, career preparation, competitive events, community service, and hands-on experiences connected to the workforce. These experiences help prepare students for success in college, careers, and life.

Georgia’s 10 state-recognized CTSOs serve students across all 14 Career Clusters. During the 2025-2026 school year, CTSO membership reached a record 218,191 students—an increase of 68,872 members, or 46%, since fiscal year 2021. View Georgia’s CTSO membership trends.

Georgia CTSOs include DECA, ENGAGE, Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), FFA, Georgia Career and Technical Instruction (CTI), HOSA–Future Health Professionals, SkillsUSA, and the Technology Student Association (TSA).

During the 2025-2026 school year:

• 218,191 students participated in Georgia CTSOs.

• Georgia had 2,312 CTSO chapters in 709 schools.

• CTSOs served students in 180 school districts and 17 state charter schools.

• More than 76,500 students participated in state-level conferences.

• Thirty-four school districts offered eight or more CTSOs.

• Sixty-six student state officers represented 49 high schools and 31 school districts.

“CTSOs turn classroom learning into real-world leadership,” Dr. Barbara M. Wall, Deputy Superintendent, Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education, said. “Whether students are managing a project, competing in a career-focused event, serving their communities, or leading their peers, they are developing the technical knowledge and employability skills they will need for future success. The continued growth of these organizations shows that Georgia students are eager to lead, learn, and prepare for what comes next.”

Georgia’s CTSOs serve students pursuing interests across fields such as agriculture, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, technology, education, public service, marketing, hospitality, construction, financial services, and transportation. Through their participation, students develop skills in communication, teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, and professionalism while exploring potential careers and building connections with educators, employers, and their communities.

In addition to Georgia’s four national officers, 66 students are serving in statewide CTSO leadership positions during the 2026-2027 school year. Together, these student leaders represent communities across Georgia—from the mountains to the coast—and demonstrate the essential role CTSOs play in developing the state’s future workforce.

It was reported by multiple outlets that former Georgia Bulldogs safety JaCorey Thomas transferred to the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Thomas was a former four-star recruit out of Boone High School in Orlando, Florida, in the class of 2022. He was ranked as the No. 26 safety in the country. He was predicted to commit to Florida State but chose UGA out of high school. Thomas enrolled early at Georgia in January of 2022.

Thomas spent four years with the Bulldogs from 2022 to 2025 but was reportedly granted another year of eligibility after suing the NCAA and getting a restraining order. While playing college football for the Bulldogs, Thomas totaled 63 tackles, one sack, and two passes defended. He was also on the national championship team as a freshman in 2022. Last year was his best season, gaining 45 tackles and a sack in 14 games.

Thomas went undrafted in the 2026 NFL draft. He had a tryout with the Carolina Panthers after the draft, but was not signed.

He officially entered the transfer portal on Sept. 4, which was one day before Georgia took on Tennessee State. Only three days later, he committed to WVU. Now he joins a Mountaineers team that’s 1-0 after a 31-24 victory against Coastal Carolina last week.
