On Tuesday morning, May 14, seniors at the Winston-Louisville Career Technical Center (WLCTC) were honored by faculty, industry representatives, and the community for their hard work and achievements and for taking a step forward along their career paths, at the first ever Career & Technical Workforce Recognition Day.
It was noted that students are recognized for their achievements in academics and athletics, and it is just as important to honor those who have succeeded in career and technical training. WLCTC Director, James Webb, stated that the idea was presented by Superintendent Randy Grierson.
