Background:
In February 2024, the Golden LEAF Foundation announced that $10 million in funding would be awarded to projects encouraging job creation, workforce preparedness, economic investment, and agriculture in North Carolina.
Davie County Schools was awarded $1.5 million to expand its Career and Technical Education (CTE) facilities at Davie County High School, which was the largest award made by the foundation that cycle.
The new facility will enable the school to introduce new equipment and expand class offerings, providing students with more diverse and advanced learning opportunities.
Additionally, the need for the advanced manufacturing lab is supported by industry demand as area companies lack sufficient skilled employees in the areas of automation, skilled maintenance, electrical and mechanical engineering, and machining. DCS will construct an advanced manufacturing lab and classroom facility at the Davie County High School (DCHS) Campus. Post-secondary education and industry partners have committed to provide training equipment for the Advanced Manufacturing Lab.
