Last week a local Tech Prep Showcase was held in the Meigs High School cafeteria with about 50 students participating. Five of the seven tech prep programs offered at the school were represented in the showcase competition.The winners of that showcase participated at the Friday event at the Community College.

“Meigs Tech Prep educational programs give students the opportunity to give direction to their futures,” said Suzanne Bentz, Tech Prep instructor. She noted that after graduation some of the Tech Prep students not only can immediately enter the workforce with valuable skills, but also can enroll in a two or four year college program.

She said the Meigs Tech Prep program, which consists of rigorous hands-on learning activities woven with high level academics, as offering students the opportunity to receive several hours of college credit to Washington State Community College free of charge. Under the direction of the Ohio Department of Education, all career and technical programs in Ohio, will be converted over to the Tech Prep format, according to Bentz.
