Program/Speaker: Amy Boles – Director of Hancock County Techincal Center was our guest speaker this week. Amy spoke on how the Composition of the school has changed 100%.
The Enrollment in 2009-100 students and 2017-230 students. There are five new tech programs. We are currently having difficulty filling the carpentry classes.
92% of graduates are certified and 96% of students are placed in further higher education or careers. The Technical Center is too small and old. Ellsworth is in charge of the school and it is not moving with a larger campus or school.
