Mrs. Wright’s DYF class completed their unit on the Architecture and Construction career cluster. As a culminating project, students were challenged to design and build their own model homes using recycled materials. Before beginning construction, each group created a detailed blueprint outlining the structure, layout, and design features of their house. This planning process allowed students to apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world design skills used by professionals in the field. After finalizing their blueprints, students brought their designs to life by constructing their houses with a variety of reused materials, reinforcing the importance of sustainability in modern construction. This hands-on experience provided students with a deeper understanding of the planning, design, and building processes involved in architecture and construction careers.

This morning, our 8th grade students visited the Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute (MOVTI) to explore the many Career and Technical Education programs available to them beginning their junior year of high school. Students had the opportunity to see firsthand the wide variety of hands-on career pathways offered through MOVTI and learn about future opportunities in areas such as healthcare, skilled trades, technology, public service, and more. We appreciate the MOVTI staff for welcoming our students and providing them with a glimpse into the many exciting possibilities for their future! #KnightsPride

Students in Mrs. Wright’s Discover Your Future (DYF) class had the opportunity to explore a variety of career pathways available within their local community through an in-depth look at professions within the Marietta Memorial Health System. This experience was designed to broaden students’ awareness of the diverse roles that support healthcare organizations beyond traditional clinical positions. During this learning experience, students were introduced to several key departments, including radiology, social work, human resources, and patient transport. In their study of radiology, students gained insight into how medical imaging technologies such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are used to diagnose and monitor patient conditions. The social work component highlighted the importance of supporting patients’ emotional, social, and environmental needs, as well as connecting individuals and families with essential resources. Students also explored the role of human resources, learning how this department is responsible for recruiting, hiring, and supporting staff to ensure the healthcare system operates efficiently and maintains a positive workplace environment. Additionally, the transport team was discussed as a vital part of daily hospital operations, ensuring that patients are safely and efficiently moved throughout the facility for tests, procedures, and care. Overall, this experience helped students develop a deeper understanding of the wide range of career opportunities available within a healthcare system and emphasized the importance of each role in contributing to high-quality patient care.
