We would like to thank Raber Custom Meats for working with our Ag Business students to learn the steps involved in proper meat processing. Students were able to learn proper deboning techniques, correct packaging, vacuum sealing, patty making, and were able to tour the new facility and learn about the smoker and brining process. We enjoyed our time together and sincerely appreciate the relationship we have with the Raber family.
Although fairly new for us, the Ag Sales CDE is an enjoyable learning experience where our students learn sales strategies and communicate with potential customers to market a product. This year (L to R in main photo: Maddox Martin, James Work, Korey Gray, and Diesel Ferguson were given the task of selling Kalembach Feed. These students did great for their first time ever, and we couldn’t have performed as well as we had without the help of Tisha Wolfer and Cherry Fork Feed and Farm! Don’t be surprised to see us back learning soon to get better next year!

Today we had the honor of welcoming Congressman David Taylor to the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center. He spent time visiting with our students, touring our labs, and seeing firsthand the incredible work happening every single day to prepare students for the workforce.
From welding to ag business and everything in between our students took great pride in sharing what they are learning and how they are building real skills and earning credentials for real careers right here in Adams County.
We appreciate Congressman Taylor taking the time to invest in our students and see the impact Career Tech is making in southern Ohio.

The building hit the jackpot with our newest friend, “Vegas.”
When a baby lamb needs a little extra care, our Ag Business students don’t hesitate, they step up.
Our building welcomed a new little friend, “Vegas.” When he needed some additional attention, our students made sure he got it. From feeding schedules to hands-on care, they understand that agriculture is more than business… it’s responsibility, compassion, and commitment.
Can you take a box of parts and turn it into a running engine? Ag Mech students can.
What started as a tote full of parts became a motor. Measuring valve clearance. Torquing bolts to spec. Reading technical manuals. Problem-solving in real time.
This isn’t a worksheet. We learn by doing.
It was a busy and rewarding week in our Cosmetology Lab as students prepared guests for Night to Shine.
From fresh haircuts to polished nails, our students worked hard to ensure every participant felt confident, celebrated, and ready for their big evening.
This is what Career Tech is all about, real skills, real service, and real impact. Our students aren’t just learning cosmetology techniques; they’re learning compassion, professionalism, patience, and the importance of serving their community.
Through experiences like this, they gain real-world experience while making a real difference in the lives of others.
We are incredibly proud of the maturity, heart, and leadership they demonstrated while representing the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center and showing what it truly means to be a Pioneer.
What a fantastic night for our Ohio Valley CTC Culinary Arts Program! 👩🍳🍽️
Our Date Night Dinner was a huge success, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to enjoy an amazing meal while supporting our students and program. Your support gives our students real-world experience and helps them grow as future professionals.
Nights like this showcase exactly what makes our Pioneers special, hands-on learning, high expectations, and community connection.
We look forward to offering more open lunches and dinners to our community in the future. Stay tuned you won’t want to miss the next one!

The Ohio Valley FFA Ag Power Diagnostic CDE Team attended the District Contest on Thursday, competing in District 9 alongside 17 teams at Ag Pro in Wilmington, Ohio.
A huge thank you to GM Ryan Frommling and his crew for hosting in their top-notch facilities. The contest featured five stations—bugged tractors, a combine, a sprayer, and a skid steer—putting students’ diagnostic skills to the test.
We’re proud to share that Ohio Valley FFA placed 2nd out of 17 teams! We now await word on selection as a 2nd-place team to advance to state.
👏 Congratulations to Korey Gray (Senior, Ag Mechanics) and Kaden Schweitzer (Ag Business) for teaming up and crushing all ten problems on the day.
Special thanks to Georgetown Ag Pro for continuing to push our students. New this year, our team also practiced at Hillsboro Ag Pro and Murphy Tractor in Jackson.
Thank you to everyone who supports our mission to build better technicians.
