The Future Ready VITAL team were excited and honored to attend the Monterey High School Senior Signing Day on May 1st. It was a special day celebrating students as they signed their post-secondary intent to become enrolled, enlisted, or employed.

It was great to see representatives and partners from Tennessee Tech University, Volunteer State Community College, TCAT, and the military there to support our seniors as they take the next step in their journeys.

Congratulations to all of the students. Putnam County Schools is proud of your accomplishments, commitment, and the bright futures ahead of you. Good luck in all your endeavors!

Excited to be in Nashville today at the Tennessee STEM Innovation Summit, learning and exploring the future of CTE, STEM, and AI.

The conversations around integrating Problem-Based Learning with Career and Technical Education are powerful, partnered with AI is reshaping how we design instruction, engage students, and prepare them for real-world careers.

Jeff Corwin's message on conservation and the preservation of species across our planet was both powerful and timely. It was a great reminder that as we innovate and push forward with technology, we also have a responsibility to educate students about sustainability and protecting the world around us.

It’s an exciting time in education. The possibilities for creating meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that connect directly to workforce skills with real-world impact have never been greater.

Looking forward to bringing these ideas back and continuing to grow opportunities for our PCSS students.

Thank you to all of the students, parents, and families who joined us on Thursday night, April 16, for the EMT Dual Enrollment Information Meeting at the Vol State Cookeville CHEC Campus! We appreciate everyone who came out to learn more about this exciting opportunity for rising seniors.

Students in the EMT Dual Enrollment program can earn college credit while in high school, gain hands-on clinical experience, and prepare for entry-level Emergency Medical Technician certification. This is an incredible opportunity for students interested in healthcare, emergency services, and making a difference in their community.

A special thank you to our partners at Volunteer State Community College and everyone who helped make the evening a success.
