GREETINGS FROM
DR. KIMBERLY J. SCHNEIDER, SUPERINTENDENT
|
 What a productive winter it has been! Thankfully, mother nature has been good to us. We had a busy December with various community service projects. We welcomed January with a host of student competitions. In February, we celebrated Career and Technical Education month with other schools across the country. It was the perfect time to acknowledge all that we do together to prepare students for success in college and careers. Early in the month, we honored a successful graduate from our Culinary Arts program and we hosted a luncheon for our guidance counselors and special guests last week. Students went on exciting field trips and continued the momentum that has been building here for years. |

State Student Council President

Sanjana Duggirala of East Winsdor has been elected president of the New Jersey Association of Student Council's (NJASC) Executive Board. Sanjana is a junior at the Mercer County Technical Schools' Health Science Academy. The election took place at The College of New Jersey during the 2016 NJASC Winter Convention with more than 1,500 students in attendance. As president of NJASC, Sanjana will have many responsibilities in the coming year and she is up for the challenge. Among her responsibilities, she will represent the State of New Jersey at the National Association of Student Councils conference in Portland, Oregon in June 2016.
Another exciting moment for the students was when it was announced that Mercer County Technical School District received first year Honor School status. This award recognizes accumulated consecutive years that schools follow criteria recognized by NJASC as being important for developing and maintaining a successful Student Council program.

Students Complete EPA Certification
|
 The entire HVAC class passed their EPA certification exam. Ninety-two percent of the class passed higher levels of the test. This means that they are now certified to work on any type of HVAC/R equipment. Passing the universal test is a very difficult task and will greatly improve their value to employers and increase their earning potential.

Mr. Henry Pfeffer has been awarded one of the two STEM Teacher of the Year Awards by the Professional Engineers Society of Mercer County. Mr. Pfeffer was honored at the Annual banquet in February. Congratulations!
