MCTC

Great work to these MCTC Agriculture students for completing dual credit agriculture courses through MSU!

AUTHENTIC project based learning and pathway collaboration at its finest! MCTC has worked with the Benton Parnership for the last six years to staff and put on the annual Farm to Fork Dinner to benefit student scholarships and positive change in our local community. Today, the ribbon was cut on the brand new Benton Farm to Fork Pavilion that will be open for local vendors to sell their locally raised produce and handmade items. The pavilion will be open for vendors on Saturdays from May-October from 7:30-12:30, and is located next to Benton Water. The Benton Partnership also provides scholarships to MCTC students involved in the Farm to Fork dinner representing Agriculture/FFA, Culinary/FCCLA, and Media Arts programs for the diversified roles they play in sponsoring and helping to make the dinner possible. We are thankful for this continued community connection and look forward to seeing you at the pavilion this summer!

Last week our Skills USA students competed in Louisville for our State Competitions. Several programs were represented. State winners were Ethan Odom 1st place Job Interview, Mallory Beliles 2nd place prepared speech, Jamison Miller 2nd place 30 second elevator story.

Last night, Marshall County was host to the West Kentucky AGC Banquet to celebrate the successes of those students geared for careers as industry professionals in their respective pathways. 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!

Yesterday, students from MCTC had the opportunity to attend a luncheon hosted by the Chamber of Commerce! 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!
