Patrick County recognizes CTE students and highlights school facility projects
Summary
Principal Hope Perry and CTE instructors were on hand as the board recognized students who placed in state and district career and technical education competitions and highlighted school facility projects including a walkway at Little Rede Elementary and park repairs done by CTE students.
The Patrick County School Board recognized Career and Technical Education students and instructors May 8 for placements in regional and state competitions and for community projects.
Principal Hope Perry and CTE instructor Miss Collin introduced students who placed in events tied to the SkillsUSA/Steel USA competitions and a team contest called Teamworks. Miss Collin named Abigail Royal, Isabella Levitt and Dean Nextman as students who placed in a competition the presenters referred to in the meeting as “Total Fantasy Live.” She described the competition theme as “under the sink” and said students performed roles including hairdresser and makeup artist to transform a model into a jellyfish.
Miss Collin also described a student, Ashley, who placed sixth in another mannequin competition; Collin said she believed the field included about 38 contestants. “I think it was 38 contestants,” Miss Collin said.
The board and presenters also highlighted four students who competed in a Teamworks building contest that requires short, timed presentations and cooperative construction work. Miss Collin praised students including Reggie, Eli and Paul for applying skills in masonry, electrical and plumbing and for preparing through extra practice and after‑school time.
Superintendent Blake reported on facility improvements at district schools, including a walkway at Little Rede Elementary to ease access to physical education classes and restroom renovations. Blake said CTE students had also contributed to community projects: they created a gazebo at New York Park and helped refurbish a footbridge there.
Board members and staff thanked the students and their instructors and invited the group to remain for the meeting or depart for other awards programs. No board action was required for the recognitions or the facility updates.
