Foods II students understanding the Amino Acid chain while Culinary Arts students are putting that knowledge to work in the kitchen making Hibachi Chicken with homemade Yum Yum sauce! The CTE Foods & Nutrition Department is cooking... literally!
Students have started this semester focused and ready in Health Science Careers class taught by Mrs. R. Revels. As you can see in the pics, these students love the exploration and hands-on opportunities in these Health Science modules. We are not only lighting a fire for health-related careers, but also igniting champions in MCS Career & Tech Ed classes.
An awesome experience for MCS students today at the Innovation Campus & Early College with BeProBeProudNC. What an amazing facility to participate in North Carolina's trade industry. Students welded, drove 18 wheelers, operated an industrial crane and excavator, timber machinery, and had options to work in the plumbing, electrical, diesel mechanic, or construction field. MCS wants to provide every student, every opportunity! Tomorrow the BPBPNC Trades Truck rolls on to the campus of Martin County High School.

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.
Two young ladies with a passion for helping others volunteered for an NC Center for the Blind/Visually Impaired event in Washington, NC recently. Liya Browning and Mikiyah Davis, students of the now Martin County High School, participated in the program to help the local eastern NC chapter chaired by Martin County native, Mrs. Kim Revels. "These two ladies did a fantastic job and displayed charisma, sincerity, and maturity. It was great to have them volunteer this evening," said Revels. "They will receive certified volunteer hours on the Governor's letterhead". Browning also recently completed an internship assisting in a special needs classroom in the district. Davis is enhancing her healthcare pathway. Thank you to both students for your time, efforts, and excellent example.
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.
Gaining work experience, serving with others, and making an impact in the local community is what internships are all about. Seen here serving at Georgia Deans Restaurant of Williamston, Elise Missigman far surpassed her required hours as she enjoys her intern environment and the business relationships she has formed.
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.
