Thanks also to Ryal Watkins (Advanced Manufacturing/Welding), Clay Simpson (Industrial Systems/Welding), Guy Leggett III (HVAC), Mary Dalcourt (Equine Technology), Chief Larry Johnson (Fire Academy), and James Barnes (Automotive Technology) for their time, expertise, and instruction with MCS students.

MCS 8th and 9th graders are doing some good work in the CTE Trades Camp this summer! Students are learning by doing, visiting with trade experts at Beaufort Community College (Boat Building & Mech Engineering), Martin Community College, and the 64 East Trades Route. More info to come, but check out the experience the students received today, even building a picnic table! Good job guys! Thanks for enrolling in this awesome summer program.
An internship in Animal Science can open doors and lead you to several opportunities. Reagan Cowan and Peyton Rogers interned with the MCS Animal Science program led by 1st year Ag Teacher, Ms. Patterson. Little did they know their involvement would put them in the Annual Livestock Show, participating in FFA Competitions, and meeting North Carolina House Representative Shelly Willingham. Kudos to these students for making the most of this opportunity! #MartinOffersMore
The MCS Internship program is on fire and Jayla Everett now knows how to handle EMS and fire calls. The MCS senior interned with Williamston Fire/Rescue, seen here with Chief Peaks and other local heroes, as she learned the ropes (and hoses) of firefighting.
Gage Savage has enhanced his agricultural mechanic skills while interning at Atlantic & Southern Implement Company, formerly C&R Implement of Williamston. Gage has received rave reviews from the shop manager and is looking forward to continuing his pursuit of using his technical and mechanical skills via the Line Technician program after graduation.
We have a few students who are interning in the food service industry. Janielle James, a senior at RHS, is interning and now employed at Golden Skillet of Plymouth. Janielle, seen here with a few of her co-workers, reminds us it is not "fast food" but "good food quickly". This internship has helped her appreciate the business aspect of a restaurant while gaining customer service experience as well.
MCS students continue to showcase their skills in the business community through our J.O.B.S. Internship Program. Landon Stalls, a Junior at RHS, uses his technical and mechanical skills at Cowan's Repair of Williamston.
MCS Interns are a great example of "Martin Offers More!" They are also a great example to younger students and our constituents for the awesome jobs they are performing as community leaders and business professionals. Brooklyn Bailey's internship has enhanced her passion and future plans for law and the legal profession. Thank you to the Martin County Clerk of Court's office for your partnership. #MCSCTE #MartinOffersMore jkw
