Simpson County Technical Center students, (left to right) Nicholas Jordan and Jean Cook, earned third place in the 2015 Ford AAA State Student Competition in Jackson, on Tuesday, April 21.
Both students are seniors at Mendenhall High School.
The Simpson County Technical Center offers students the opportunity to enroll in a career and technical education (CTE) program where they learn a career trade integrated with academics and employability skills that prepare them for continued education at the college level and/or the ability to go directly into the workforce. Students also participate in student organizations where they enhance leadership skills, employability skills, and their career specific skills in various competitions held at district, state and national levels. Research has found that those who take CTE courses in high school and then enter college and the workforce tend to earn more over time than those who only take academic courses at the secondary level.
