MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -Hundreds of people gathered for the groundbreaking of the Lauderdale County School Districts’ new Career Technical Education building. This new addition to the school district will add many new opportunities for its student’s education.
“And I think you could see from the support. That we have here today, say that business industry, economic development, elected officials. You know that this is something that this this part of the state really wants. Lauderdale County residents want, and we just want to see more opportunities for our students. So we think this is a great first step in that direction,” said Superintendent, Dr. John-Mark Cain.
The school district already teaches many CTE courses throughout each school, but having a facility like this allows the students to branch out and learn so much more.
“So we’re looking at making this as much of a live work-based learning experience as possible. The front part of the section of the building is going to be a public space with a coffee shop, potentially a health clinic, and several things that will be offered to the public that our students would be able to to work and provide for our Community while learning at the same time,” said CTE Director for LCSD, Rob Smith.
