Academy of Careers and Technology honored on USA Today vocational schools list
Summary
The board recognized the Academy of Careers and Technology for making USA Today's national list of top vocational schools for a second consecutive year; staff introduced instructors and highlighted adult programs and industry partnerships that support student career pathways.
The Raleigh County Board of Education formally recognized the Academy of Careers and Technology after the program was named to USA Today’s list of America’s top vocational schools for the second straight year. Miss Lowry told the board the national ranking is grounded in several measures including graduation rates, graduate salary, the time required to repay net cost, social mobility and diversity.
"For the 2nd consecutive year, the Academy of Careers and Technology has been named to The USA Today's list of America's top 250 vocational schools," Miss Lowry said, noting the growth of career and technical education nationwide. Mister Pack introduced staff who lead ACT programs — Kevin Boland (adult programs coordinator), Michael Peck (CDL instructor), Joyce Rolles (phlebotomy instructor) and Kate Richardson (LPN/secretary) — and thanked the board for ongoing support. Mister Pack said ACT’s adult programs also provide critical retraining opportunities for community members seeking new careers.
