Thank you to Mr. Hoop and our seniors in the Construction Technology Program for completing their “Community Day” service project by working with Venture Productions. The OVCTC students constructed drop boxes which will be installed in some of the villages in Adams County. The idea is that individuals or organizations can donate / stock non-perishable food items in these boxes and those in need may take what they need. A special thanks to Liz Lafferty of the Adams Co. Board of Developmental Disabilities & Venture Productions, Inc. for working with us on this community service project!
Thank you to C103 radio for inviting the OVCTC Ag Business program and the Early Childhood Education program to share career tech education highlights with the community today!
The ACOVSD is actively taking Supplemental Applications for Coaching Positions for all Sports for the 2021-2022 SY. Those interested should contact the Principal and/or Athletic Director at the High School in which they would like to work. For more info visit: https://5il.co/q36k
OVCTC STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Hailey Cole is a Jr in our Early Childhood Education Program and she came to us from Peebles High School. She is the granddaughter of Patti and Greg Wiggins! She is a cheerleader for Peebles football and when she isn’t cheering on the team she might be caught eating Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and watching “The Office,” “Riverdale” or the movie “Five Feet Apart.” Her role model is her teacher for Language Arts 3, Ms. Sowards. “She is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She is super fun to be around and makes Language Arts so fun. She encourages me to keep pushing no matter what. She is one of the reasons I want to be a teacher. I love the way she teaches and I might take some of her ideas in the future.”
When asked why she chose to go to the CTC Hailey responded with, “When I saw the education program, I instantly knew I wanted to go. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and I get to experience what it is like in this program. Another reason was for a new change/start. I feel like I’ve struggled with my grades at the high school.” Her favorite teachers is her program teacher Mrs. Hoop and Ms. Sowards her English teacher! Getting to go to the elementary school everyday and seeing the kids is a highlight of her program. After graduating she would like to go to college to become a teacher!
“Hailey Cole has really shown some great improvements in our Early Childhood Education program. She participates in our daily discussions, is very creative and enjoys completing craft projects with the students she works with. She has recently been one of our leaders in the classroom responsible for decorating our related classroom and does a wonderful job in creating a fun and inviting environment for both students and peers she works with.” - Mrs. Hoop, Early Childhood Education Instructor

OVCTC Faculty Spotlight - February 10, 2021
Mr. Brad White is the Agricultural Mechanics and Industrial Power program instructor for the Ohio Valley Career and Technical. He and his wife Shannon have two sons, Zander (17) and Casen (14), who own and operate a beef cattle operation in southern Adams county. He chose to work at the CTC because of “how well you get to know the students.” Entering the classroom for Mr. White couldn’t have worked out better for him and his family. Outside of school he enjoys camping, working with cattle, and here recently 4 wheeler racing with his family.
He loves the television show “MASH” and is willing to go out to eat anytime someone else is covering the bill. His late father plays a major role in his life. “He was a leader by example, he challenged me to do better by showing me. I was allowed to have ideas about situations, but many times his decision was carried out and was correct.”
According to Mr. White the sharing/support that goes on amongst the staff for students is the reason to come to the CTC!
The Adams County Ohio Valley School District will be closed today Tuesday, February 9, 2021 due to road conditions.
OVCTC Student Spotlight - Feb. 8, 2021
Dylan Malcom is a junior in the Auto Tech Program here at the CTC. He is the son of Robert and Brie Malcom from Peebles, Ohio. Auto is his favorite class, especially working in the labs to gain experience in order to obtain a job.
His favorite television show is “The Office” and going out to eat at Fuji Steakhouse. When he isn’t at school he likes to go skateboarding.
Dylan suggests coming to the CTC because of the time you get to spend in the labs of your programs. It is something different from your usual classes.
