CHECK PRESENTED TO HAMPSHIRE HIGH SCHOOL FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM
Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College hosted Hampshire High School’s Certified Nursing Assistant Program (C.N.A.) students and Kristie Long, Health Occupations Teacher, to present a check for $13,170. These students have enrolled in Hampshire High School’s dual-enrollment program with Eastern to advance progress toward a career pathway in healthcare. The C.N.A. dual-enrollment allows student completers to increase their likelihood of acceptance into Eastern’s Nursing Program. Eastern has partnered with South Branch Career and Technical Center, Hampshire High School, and Tucker County High School on this dual-enrollment initiative. Dr. Tom Striplin, President of Eastern, and Dr. Megan Webb, Dean of Advancement & Continuing Education, presented the $13,170 check to strengthen the partnership and further the growth of Hampshire High School’s existing C.N.A Program. Eastern received the Perkins Reserve Grant, which supports the projects of community and technical colleges that provide students with either dual-enrollment programs, work-based learning for skills needed in workforce areas, or industry-recognized credentials. “This grant has afforded a wonderful opportunity to offer dual-enrollment for a much-needed area in health care. The partnership between Hampshire High School and Eastern exemplifies the importance of higher education with positive impacts on student outcomes and a bridge to post-secondary learning,” said Melissa Shockey, Workforce Program Director, “I appreciate instructor Kristie Long’s support of this program and the encouragement she has provided to her students to continue their health education journey.”
