THE MADISON COUNTY (GA) JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2025 - PAGE 7A
Chamber continued from 1A
about Georgia Grown Trail 98 to
contact them.
FLEX
In 2024, the chamber also started
its own Foundational Leadership
and Entrepreneurship Experience
(FLEX) program.
This is an entrepreneurship pro
gram for high school students that
engages them in the business world
through experiences and mentor
ships. Students in FLEX create real
businesses, provide real products
and services and make real money.
Local business partners, along
with community leaders and teach
ers invest in the program through
teaching workshops and mentoring
student entrepreneurs.
Students compete in three rounds
of competition until a local winner
is selected. Local FLEX champs
then move on to the state-wide com
petition.
Madison County was able to be
come one of the first in the region to
have its own FLEX program, thanks
largely to a $15K donation from
Georgia Power and a $5K donation
from SunTrust.
There are currently seven Madison
County High School students partic
ipating in the inaugural program.
“Much like Georgia Grown Trail
98 was rooted in a Chamber com
mittee, MADICO FLEX originated
out of the Chamber’s Workforce
Development and Education Com
mittee when school system leader
ship and local business and industry
partners identified a need to foster
student entrepreneurship in Madi
son County,” chamber leaders said.
“This initiative is gaining traction in
our community thanks to the tireless
capacity building efforts by Madison
County High School and the Broad
River College and Career Academy
as they prepare high school students
for the workforce.”
Those who would like to engage
as a mentor or program supporter
are encouraged to contact the cham
ber.

number of awards at the annual din
ner.

Finalist named
for Foothills
superintendent
The Foothills Regional
High School Governing Board
has named Dale Simpson the
sole finalist for superinten
dent, the board announced
Feb. 21.
Simpson has served as as
sistant superintendent since
2022. During his tenure, he
has worked to expand educa
tional access, increase student
engagement and build com
munity partnerships that en
hance learning opportunities.
His leadership has contributed
to a more than 37% increase
in graduates, advanced leg
islative advocacy efforts and
launched workforce training
programs in collaboration
with local and state organiza
tions.
“Dr. Simpson’s leadership
and unwavering commitment
to strrdent success make him
the ideal candidate for super
intendent,” said Robbie Hook
er, Clarke County School
District superintendent and
Foothills Governing Board
chairman. “We are confident
that under his direction, Foot-
hills will thrive and continue
expanding non-traditional
learning opportunities to stir-
dents across Georgia. His vi
sion, experience, and passion
for education will build on the
strong foundation set by Dr.
Gibney-Sherman, and we look
forward to working with him
in this new role.”
Simpson began his educa
tion career in 2011 as a high
school business teacher in
Fulton and Jackson counties
before serving as an assistant
principal at Jackson County
High School. From 2016 to
2022, he held various leader
ship roles in Barrow County,
including assistant principal
at Holsenbeck Elementary,
Dale Simpson, the sole fi
nalist for superintendent of
Foothills.
chief executive officer at Sims
Academy of Innovation and
Technology, and principal
of Barrow Arts and Scienc
es Academy. Before joining
Foothills full-time in 2022, he
worked as a part-time gradua-
tion coach and director of data
and accountability.
Simpson holds a bachelor’s,
master’s and doctorate from
the University of Georgia.
“I am thankfill to the Gov
erning Board for this oppor
tunity and look forward to
working with our incredibly
talented team to ensure that
every student has the oppor
tunity to graduate ready for
their future, including those
who need a different pathway
toward graduation,” said Dr.
Dale Simpson.
State law requires a 14-
day waiting period before the
board can officially vote to
hire Simpson. Pending ap
proval on March 10, he will
assume the role July 1, suc
ceeding Sherrie Gibney-Sher
man, who is retiring after
nearly 50 year's in public ed
ucation, including a decade as
Foothills’ superintendent.
