Chief Michaels of the U.S. Coast Guard came today to the Houston CTE to talk to students about a career in the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard is a branch of the United States Armed Forces and operates under the Department of Homeland Security. It serves as an Armed Force, serving the nation in times of peace and war. The Coast Guard has a long history, dating back to 1790, and has played a significant role in shaping the nation. Students learned a little about the U.S. Coast Guard, and how, if they're interested, they could become a member of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Carolyn Ward of TVA, along with Sean Edmondson and Miller Dendy of Natchez Trace Electric Power Association presented the Houston Career and Technology Education Center with a $5,000 Grant. The money is to be used to update and rebuild the Houston Solar Car.
Mrs. Ward has offered to send linemen and electricians to come and speak to Houston CTE students about possible careers with Natchez Trace and TVA. She told the students that only one semester of training as a lineman can lead to a future career that can put them in a job making over $100,000/year.
Teresa Moore, Houston CTE Director, looks forward to a future partnership with Natchez Trace and TVA to help guide students into the electrical career.
The Electrical class has been working on the Nutcracker Christmas Arches since October. Finally finished and in place!
