High school EMT students had the opportunity to tour AirEvac, learning about landing zones and more. Thank you to AirEvac for the learning opportunity and for their service to our community.
We’re excited to be a recipient of a Wyatt Brown Success Bell.
Your can read the story about the origin of the Success Bell on the Love Theory website here: https://lovetheory.org/blogs/news/success-bell As Wyatt Brown said, “Success comes in all forms and I believe we don’t celebrate each other enough. For example: a kid got his first job, another student made it to school on time every day for a week, or a teacher got all her grades entered early. Everyone’s success is gaged differently, and the bell would celebrate that.”
At PTC, our mission of “Training to Succeed” is at the core of everything we do. It drives our planning, decisions, and actions for the benefit of all students. The Success Bell will be a meaningful addition to our campus for years to come. We’re thankful for Wyatt's vision and for Love Theory providing such a great way for our students to celebrate success!
This week we recognized our newest Employee of the Month - In recognition of her valuable contributions and efforts to support the mission of Pontotoc Technology Center, and in appreciation for her dedication and hard work, thank you and congratulations, Deena West!
Congratulations to Welding student, Beau Griffin - PTC's 2023-2024 Outstanding Student of the Year!
