Many businesses and organizations have shifted operations online due to the pandemic, but staff members at the Northeast Georgia History Center have been using technology to bring history to life for years.
In 2017, the center began offering live webcasts with schools through their Cottrell Digital Studio to reach students outside of the area who may not be able to visit the center in-person. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of last year, Cottrell Digital Studio Director Libba Beaucham said that history center staff found themselves in a very lucky situation.
The Hall County School District reached a milestone on Feb. 7, and school board members held an impromptu celebration at a work session Monday evening, commemorating the district s 150th birthday.
While board members enjoyed some birthday cake, Finance Director Jonathan Boykin, who has taken on the unofficial role as district historian, offered up a quick history lesson, telling the board that Hall County was one of the first counties in the state to set up a board of education in 1871, electing Brian Moses as president at the first meeting on Feb. 7. In those days, the school board would oversee the certification of teachers as well as levy taxes for the school district. Each school had its own board of trustees - made up of parents or community members - and that board would decide which teachers to hire and what subjects each school would offer.
