Rutland High Junior Tapped for Commission on Teen Driving

Rutland High School junior Felicia Ashley attended her first meeting with 21 other Georgia high school students as part of the Governor’s Commission on Teen Driving in late October. The group is tasked with reducing the number of teen crashes, injuries and fatalities on Georgia’s roads and highways.
