A BIG shout out to Mary Miller- talented instructor in our Cyber Security and Computer Science Program. She not only recently secured a Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore grant for robotics, but she is a recent Hertrich Cash for Class Award recipient. It gets better...her Cyber Patriot Team just advanced to States and Robotics is locking in to State grants that will benefit the program! Keeping the foot on the gas at WTHS!

Thank you to Scott LeClaire, owner and chief operator of LeClaire Flooring, and his team. LeClaire flooring visits WTHS masonry students once a month to provide instruction, industry tips & tricks, and real-world hands on experience for our students. From installing carpet and tile to laying laminate and hard wood flooring, our students get to explore how to install a line of diverse products in a growing industry. Did I mention LeClaire installs Versace tile and heated bathroom floors? Ooh la la! We appreciate our partners!

We want to send a big shout out to our Students and Staff of the Month. Congratulations to Aniyah Pittman in our Carpentry Program and Garet Lowman in our Auto Program. Congratulations to Kelly Clarke and Beth League our two Staff of the Month. Great job team!

Both Santa (welding instructor Rick Stephens) and the Grinch (nurse Amanda Bradford) visited Worcester Tech today to check off their lists to see who is naughty or nice. Several students made the AMAZING list and received positive behavior referrals from their instructors! Great job students (and GiGi)!

Math is...fun!?! Yes! If you are lucky enough to take geometry with our talented engineering instructor Silviya Gallo, then you would experience first hand fun, strategic math lessons everyday. From real world applications to employing secret codes (SOH CA TOA) our students are zoned in and keeping their foot on the gas! Keep up the great work!

It's been over a decade since WTHS entered a float in one of our local Christmas Parades. Shout out to our talented Ag-Science instructor Sarah Ruggiero and the WTHS FFA chapter for bringing back the float! It was a cold night in Snow Hill but we had a lot of fun! We will be back next year. Happy Holidays to all and thanks for your support.
