Now that we featured our instructors, we're bringing back the spotlight for our administration! First up, Chas Bunch, our assistant director!!
Did you know that MOVTI offers over 20 programs?!
These programs give students hands-on training and teach students real-world skills. Plus, they can earn industry-recognized credentials and get work-based learning experiences. It's a great way for students to check out different careers and get some valuable experience while still in high school!
Therapeutic Services and Emergency Services students participated in a classroom debate about topics related to medical professions, such as legalization of euthanasia. Mrs. Redin, embedded English instructor, facilitated the debate and provided students topics to research and prepare for the event.
MOVTI students have been hard at work after coming back from Thanksgiving break!

Mr. Bunch's Tyler Consolidated Middle Schoolers participated in the water bottle engineering challenge. The group with the tallest structure won!
At our Career Day event yesterday, Rachael Dukas, service supervisor of Boyd Cat- Parkersburg branch, presented a donation check to Alex Mossor.

Our last instructor to be in the spotlight is...Christopher McGrew, our computer systems instructor! I guess he couldn't code his way out of this!
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.
