Patient care technicians play a vital role in providing essential care to patients in need. They offer hands-on support to help patients with their basic needs, which greatly affects the lives of both the patients and their families. Our students have the unique opportunity to obtain their PCT certification before leaving high school and start working immediately in the healthcare field upon graduation.
Congratulations to Mrs. Barnhart's Advanced Medical students who successfully passed their Patient Care Technician Certification test:

Mrs. Leithead's graphic design and multimedia publishing students, along with Mia Schofield from the Grow Your Own program had a super fun time painting with Mrs. Simonton's kindergarteners at SMES! They all read The Rainbow Fish together and then got creative with their paints and added glitter to make their paintings come alive!
Mr. Bunch and his drafting and PLTW students visited the Hino manufacturing plant today. The students saw how truck frames are assembled from start to finish, including the moment the trucks were completed and moved to the lot. They also spoke with the engineers in the CAD room.
Welding students are still earning certifications!

Second year Law & Public Safety students applied their knowledge of the court system with the Mock Trial of New Columbia v. Chris Archer. Defense Attorney Erika Perry put up a stiff defense, but Prosecutor Ross Nethercutt won the day with a second-degree murder conviction. Multiple programs at MOVTI, including Diesel, Grow Your Own, and EMS, provided jurors who decided the case.
EMS Students along with the Law & Public Safety program worked together today in a simulated Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). Students had to respond to an active shooter who also had a bomb. Communication, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills were put to the test as students worked together with continuously changing priorities to do the most good for the most people. Several programs contributed to the effort with role players from CEM Tech, Nursing, Graphic Design and Computer Repair.
Law & Public Safety students applied teamwork, leadership and communication skills at our annual airsoft trip to Ohio Valley Airsoft.
Mr. Bunch's drafting and PLTW students have been super busy! They engraved 250 mugs for the West Virginia Department of Education's Teacher Prep Program!

Congratulations! Coding, App and Game Design student, Levi McKenna (RC) and Information Systems, William Campbell (RC) both successfully passed their CompTIA A+ certification test. CompTIA A+ is the industry standard for launching IT careers into today’s digital world.
Thank you to the WV Carpenter's Training Center for hosting students from MOVTI yesterday. Our students had a chance to attend the training center's Spring Open House in Parkersburg. The event offered an opportunity for anyone interested in a career in carpentry to tour the facility and learn about their apprenticeship program.
The Healthy ABC's coloring book is complete!
Three MOVTI programs have successfully created a healthcare-related coloring book for kindergarten students. In order to create an age-appropriate coloring book, the Therapeutic Services students researched the cognitive development, skills, and abilities of both age groups (3-5 and 5-10 years). They brainstormed words for each letter of the alphabet and collaborated with graphic design students to create drawings for each letter/word. The graphic design students then digitized the drawings and formatted the pages for printing. Over 250 books were printed and assembled. The entire process took more than two months to complete. Finally, the GYO Future Educators delivered the books to each kindergarten class at the schools where they participate in field observations.
We have included a link to download the book and print your own pages!
