Thank you to Natalie Lee, NTHS Advisor, and all our teachers who participated and assisted with the ceremony.
The Sports Medicine Program had the honor of meeting Brenton Strange, an NFL tight end who plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was interesting to get to talk to him and hear about a typical day in the life of a big star NFL player!
A very special THANK YOU to Magistrate Brenda Marshall for presiding over the mock trials yesterday! It was a great learning experience and the criminal justice students enjoyed it very much. The students created case facts, witness testimony, opening/closing arguments, and all other aspects of a trial. We appreciate the Wood County Justice Center and Magistrate Marshall for taking the time to support our students!
We encourage you to support our students. All proceeds go to assist students with travel to various CTE competitions and leadership events.
Recently, our students from ProStart attended Hospitality University at the Greenbrier Resort. Mariah Caplinger was chosen to intern with one of the chefs, where she helped prepare food for the banquets. The students also had the opportunity to listen to professionals in the hospitality industry from across the state. There were panel discussions and Q & A sessions about potential issues within our state. They also had the opportunity to meet Governor Jim Justice and Baby Dog. They heard candidates running for governor and visited vendors set up from around the state advertising their programs.
The students who attended were Dillon Fox, Mariah Caplinger, Isabella Ingram, and Olivia Lambey.

Students at our centers share that they enjoy attending classes with our teachers because they are experts in their respective fields, and they treat their students with respect.
