Exciting things are ahead at the Mercer County Technical Education Center! 🏗️📚 MCTEC Principal Dr. Danielle Farmer, Engineering Instructor Barry Jones, and Assistant Superintendent Rosemary Mitchell met with ZMM Architects and Engineers today to discuss plans for the upcoming addition to MCTEC. This expansion will create more opportunities for students to participate in MCTEC’s career and technical education programs while also expanding access to dual credit opportunities. We’re excited to see this project take shape and open even more doors for Mercer County students! 💛🖤 #MercerCountySchools #MCTEC #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #Ilovewvpublicschools #WVSchoolBuildingAuthority
