Carthage Tech Center awards top honor to 100+ seniors
CARTHAGE, Mo. — The Carthage Technical Center awards more than 100 seniors with its highest honor. 107 seniors, to be exact, earned their state-recognized career and technical education certificates during CTC's annual awards night. As part of the honor, the students will wear a black cord on graduation night. Students studying in 12 different careers earned a total of 526 industry-recognized credentials — and completed more than 14-thousand hours of work-based learning. 'It's a neat chance to highlight what they've done, because maybe they haven't excelled in your normal academic course work, but they found their passion in a career and technical education program, and it's a chance to kind of spotlight them and their accomplishment,' said Dr. Gage Tiller, CTC Director.

And lets us phase some of these things in quicker than originally planned, rather than it being a multi-year phase-in thing,' said Gage Tiller. Other school districts will also benefit from the Schilling Technical Education Grants. Golden City gets $50,000 for an animal science lab, while Lamar's grant totals $31,000 for auto and carpentry classes. The Webb City School District will get $7,500 for drone technologies.
