Sentinel Career Center Hosts October After Five!<br />

The After Five at Sentinel Career & Technology Center on<br />

October 21 was both an enjoyable and informative evening.<br />

Tours provided guests with <strong>the</strong> chance to<br />

see first-hand <strong>the</strong> various projects that<br />

Sentinel students are currently working<br />

on, <strong>from</strong> collision repairs and making<br />

fences to rebuilding a house, as well<br />

as <strong>the</strong> various skill competitions.<br />

On display were some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> students’<br />

finished projects such as belt<br />

buckles, built-to-scale models <strong>of</strong> a<br />

backhoe and <strong>the</strong> bus used to take <strong>the</strong>m to worksites<br />

(pictured above right) .<br />

The food service classes prepared some delicious appetizers<br />

for <strong>the</strong> event. A group <strong>of</strong> students helped with <strong>the</strong> event,<br />

four <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> food service section served <strong>the</strong> appetizers and<br />

five student Ambassadors <strong>from</strong> several sections led <strong>the</strong><br />

tours.<br />

Volunteers <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> food service section and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

supervisor are pictured above. From left to right<br />

In 2010, Sentinel was named a National School <strong>of</strong> Character<br />

by Character Education Partnership. It is <strong>the</strong> first career center<br />

in America to receive such an honor, and is one <strong>of</strong> only<br />

13 schools and two school districts in <strong>the</strong> country to receive<br />

<strong>the</strong> designation.<br />

Sentinel has integrated character education into <strong>the</strong> culture<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> school, based on <strong>the</strong> six pillars <strong>of</strong> "Character Counts":<br />

Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring,<br />

and Citizenship.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> After Five, a student Ambassador was asked by a<br />

guest if <strong>the</strong>se values were difficult to take back to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

home school. The student replied, “Not really” and said that<br />

she does pass it on to classmates at her home school.<br />

The five Ambassadors are pictured above <strong>from</strong><br />

AM <strong>from</strong> Mohawk), Chance Brickner<br />

junior <strong>from</strong> Old Fort), Amanda Fleming<br />

(Cosmetology senior <strong>from</strong> Mohawk), and Katie<br />
