Hello
everyone,
There have
been many exciting things happening at the MCATC over
the past few weeks. Last Friday, the Secretary of
Education provided the community with a check for
$374,000 that will be used to purchase equipment for the
industrial maintenance classroom at the MCATC. The
equipment will be used for the high school robotics
classes and for adult and industry training.
The school
has added two additional staff members. They are
Christie Glasscock who is teaching health sciences and
Mary Lancaster who is serving as the school’s career
advisor. Both are a great addition to the school! They
are student focused and have worked hard to provide more
opportunities for our students.
MCATC
Student of the Month
Ms. Lancaster
has organized our Student of the Month program. The
activity is organized to recognize 1 outstanding student
in each program area. Once an industry agrees to
sponsorship they donate $150 which is used to purchase
t-shirts for students and pay for recognition activities
for the students. At the end of the year, a $500
scholarship will go to a graduating senior who has been
student of the month for the 2007-2008 school year. We
received an outstanding response from our request for
sponsors. This year’s sponsors include: Akebono,
Angell-Demmel, Hendrickson Truck Suspension Systems,
Marion Adjustment Center, Marion County Fiscal Court,
Montebello Packaging, Plastic Products Co., Inc., Spring
View Hospital, Summa Technology, TG Kentucky, and
Toyotomi America Corporation. A special thanks to the
Marion County Fiscal Court for donating an additional
$450 to the program. Some of the extra funding provided
by the fiscal court will also go toward the National
Technical Honor Society.
Congratulations to the following students for being
recognized as the August Students of the Month. The
students will travel to Toyotomi on September 14, 2007
for a tour and lunch.
