Alcorn Career & Technology Center

Recently Mr. Russ Elam, Director of ACTC and Mrs. Nan Nethery, Teacher Academy Instructor, along with two Teacher Academy Students, Destiny Ozbirn and Annie Stewart spoke to the Alcorn County Retired Educators.  Mr. Elam spoke about the 13 programs offered on ACTC's campus and about how career and technical education had emerged into an opportunity that benefits both career and college bound high school students.  Destiny and Annie, officers serving in the Educator's Rising student organization associated with Teacher Academy, spoke about how completing the TA program had not only solidified their decision to major in the field of education, but also had laid a strong foundation for some of the courses that they would be completing in their college coursework.
