Overview
The Live Production & Event Technology pathway is built on a foundation of collaboration between multiple Fine Arts and CTAE disciplines. Students develop the skills to lead productions that integrate music, drama, technology, and media — creating real-world, student-led events that reflect Georgia’s CTAE Career, Technical, and Leadership Readiness standards.
This page outlines how Audio/Video Technology & Film I aligns with other elective courses to strengthen school-wide programs through hands-on, interdisciplinary learning.
