Eighth graders recently toured the Carroll County High School in preparation for their transition to high school next school year. They were taken on tours by student leaders, learned about schedules and observed students working on the heavy equipment simulator.
The junior Young Leaders group visited JCTC to learn more about education, leadership, and entrepreneurship with guest speakers Heather Yocum, Dr. Michael Shell, and Dr. Tim Burgoyne. Students enjoyed using Legos with Dr. Shell for team building and to learn more about their natural roles working in teams. They had a variety of tasks to complete that kept them engaged and challenged. (Photos courtesy of Cheri Mann.)
