Business partnership featured in today's Reporter

Today's issue of The Reporter highlights a successful business partnership North Montco Technical Career Center (NMTCC) has with La Mirage Salon in Lansdale. Currently, nine NMTCC graduates are working at La Mirage Salon including the owner, Kellie Galinski.

We appreciate the training and guidance Kellie and the other NMTCC graduates at La Mirage provide to our cosmetology students. Read The Reporter's article for further details.

We'll continue to highlight business partnerships we have because they truly help our students prepare for their future!

Renovation update

As you drive along Sumneytown Pike, you may have noticed the mound of dirt and the construction fences. So much work is taking place inside (and outside) our school this summer. The entire culinary arts kitchen has been gutted. The workers are digging now so they can put a new grease trap in the kitchen. Once this is completed, the crew will be able to build the addition to our school.
We'll continue to keep you updated on the progess of the renovations!

Students now certified EMTs

Four Protective Services students recently passed their state practical and written exams to become certified as Pennsylvania Emergency Medical Technicians. These students worked very hard to achieve this certification.

The course consisted of over 200 hours of theory and lab work held at North Montco Technical Career Center. In addition, students participated in over 200 hours of clinical work which takes place at various ambulance stationbs. Students applied their skills and knowledge to directly care for patients while on the ambulance for various types of situations. Each student was also required to complete a minimum of 12 documented direct patient care calls.

Congratulations Class of 2010

On Tuesday, June 8th, NMTCC held their annual Senior Recognition Night. Over $15,000 was awarded to the graduating seniors during this awards ceremony. The seniors also received their certificates of completion or participation and will receive their high school diplomas from their sending schools.
In addition, seniors from the Class of 2010 earned over $2,000,000 in scholarships!

The administration, faculty and staff of North Montco Technical Career Center are proud of the Class of 2010 and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

Graphic Arts students work with RSVP

In April, eight students in North Montco Technical Career Center's Graphic Arts class competed to create the new logo to be used by RSVP of Montgomery County for their upcoming 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk which will be held at the Elmwood Park Zoo on October 3, 2010.

Students submitted designs depicting wild animals in action. Submissions were made by students Miranda, Ian, Emma, Tiffani, Andrew, Christine, Kirsten and Theresa. The winner, Theresa, submitted a running lion design, inspired by her trips to the zoo. RSVP will use the logo to promote the 5K on tee shirts, signage and brochures.

The 5K theme is Run Wild. The run and walk course will meander through the Elmwood Park Zoo offering participants a chance to visit with their wild friends. All proceeds from this event will benefit RSVP's Children's Literacy programs.

Renovations are beginning!

The construction fencing has now been placed in the parking lot. The school renovations are beginning. We'll keep you updated on the progress!
