It's a great day for clinicals in Tate County. Our Health Sciences students at the Senatobia-Tate Career Technical Center are taking their learning beyond the classroom and into the community through their clinical rotations.
These students are working alongside healthcare professionals to apply the skills and knowledge they have acquired in the lab. This hands-on training is a vital step in preparing them for future careers in the medical field, showing their commitment to excellence and their desire to serve others. We are proud of the professionalism and dedication these students display as they represent our district in local medical facilities.

Independence High School was proud to welcome back 2020 graduate Kasey McDowell to our College and Career Readiness classes today. As a journeyman electrician at Tri-State Armature Electrical, Mr. McDowell shared his expertise on electrical flow and the function of circuit breakers. Students enjoyed the hands-on opportunity to use professional tools and learn the mechanics of lighting a bulb. It is rewarding to see our alumni returning to help prepare the next generation for successful careers in the trades. We appreciate Mr. McDowell for investing his time and knowledge into the future workforce of Tate County.
