Last week, Laura Hacker, Natalie Bartrug, Baylee Dilling, Shelby Thomas, and their instructor, Ashley Barnhart, from the Health Occupations program attended the HOSA Fall Leadership Conference in Charleston. During the conference, they listened to Sam Demma, author of the book "Empty Your Backpack," as the keynote speaker. Later, they split into workshops for the afternoon. During some downtime, they took the opportunity to try out the "Almost Heaven" swing located across from the state capitol in Charleston. The swings are located at various popular tourist spots around the state and are made by the Nicholas County Career and Technical Center's students.
Congratulations to Evony Westbrook (RC), a graphic design student, for passing her Adobe Illustrator certification test. This is a big accomplishment that demonstrates her skill and knowledge in the field. It's great to see that Career and Technical Education students have opportunities to take industry certification tests and prove their abilities.
