Each of the MCTC students chosen as a student of the week for this school year were recognized with a plaque and are as follows: Ethan Odom, Dalton Smith, Christian Byars, James Liedecker, and Bryer Riley. Ethan Odom won $500 for Outstanding MCTC student. MCTC Carpentry won $500 for their construction work in this year's hunting blind contest. We are extremely proud of all of these individuals and the work and dedication that they have put in to their career pathways here at MCTC! Congratulations to all!

The luncheon featured several community guests, and remarks were given by local union representatives Nathan Ruggles, Iron Workers Local 782, and Jared Shadowen, IBEW Local 816. We so appreciate this opportunity for our Career and Technical Education students!
