Principal's Corner
Welcome to the Performance Learning Center.
This starts my third year at the Catoosa Performance Learning Center (PLC). I was previously the Principal at Lakeview Fort Oglethorpe High School. I taught Computer Business Classes for 7 years, worked as an Assistant Principal/CTAE Supervisor for 8 years, and fulfilled the role of Principal for 7 years. I am a graduate of Lakeview Fort Oglethorpe High School, as well as my two sons who graduated in 2005 and 2007. I am married to Barry Vandiver and he has 2 sons and 2 grandsons. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, my Master of Education degree from Travecca Nazarene University, and my Specialist in Education degree from Tennessee Technological University.
Our PLC family atmosphere allows students to enter a small and conducive learning environment where their main focus is to graduate on time or to graduate early. We offer smaller classroom sizes where the student has more "one on one" instruction. We offer classrooms that are designed for student and teacher collaboration. Our online curriculum encourages "self motivated" instruction where students work at their own pace. The PLC is an extension of the "traditional high school", therefore, you would graduate with your home school. There are many circumstances that would qualify you to attend our "alternative high school". We encourage any Catoosa County High School student that prefers a "smaller learning" environment, to speak with their high school counselor about attending. You may also go online to www.plc.catoosa.k12.ga.us to apply. We are always excited to increase our enrollment at the Catoosa Performance Learning Center. If you have questions you may contact us directly at 706-861-2772 or email me at [email protected].
