Heard County High School

Today the Georgia Highway Contract Association, GaDOE, and CW Matthews HEO Program presented Mr. Brian Long, Blalock Eskew, and Colby Stone with banners from their wins in the 2025 HEO State Championship. Blalock Eskew was the Dozer School Champion, while Colby Stone was the Excavator School Champion and placed 2nd in the Excavator State Championship! We are incredibly proud of these young men, and all of their hard work! Mr. Long has been instrumental in building his Heavy Equipment Program so our kids will have opportunities in the construction industry following graduation. In this program, students can earn Bulldozer and Excavator certifications, which helps prepare them for the workforce. Mr. Long is passionate about HEO and we are thrilled to see the great work he’s been doing! We also want to thank Dr. Chris Williams who was instrumental in obtaining the Heavy Equipment Grant which has provided our students with this amazing opportunity! Great job guys!!
