🎉 We're thrilled to announce that our ACTC Automotive Students have received a GearWrench MegaMod 1268 piece tool set, made possible by a generous $10,000 grant from the Tri-State Education Foundation! 🙌 A special shoutout to Napa Auto Parts of Corinth, MS, for providing this amazing tool set at a great discount. They also donated 2 Napa stools, 2 Napa fender covers, and a variety of hats for our students! Having this new and organized tool set is going to allow students to be more efficient while working hands in the Automotive shop. Below are 6 of the 12 second year students in the Automotive program. 🚗🔧 #AutomotiveSkills #CommunitySupport

Mr. Robert Harrick & Brent Farrar from HEXAD Solutions Group presented to ACTC students today. Construction, Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, and Information Technology programs learned about HEXAD's fiber technology and solutions. HEXAD brought with them a lot of equipment for demonstration, and allowed students the opportunity to use state-of-the-art fiber splicing tools.
