Muhlenberg Job Corps celebrated the accomplishments of 29 graduates on November 6th with ceremonies at the center. Graduates shared their big moment with family members, students, and staff that attended the ceremony.
Graduate speaker, Katherine Gardiner, completed the Medical Office Support curriculum, passed the National Health Association Certification, the Electronic Health Records Certification, and attended Madisonville Community College. She plans to move back to home and complete her Bachelor’s Degree at Daytona State College.
Keynote speaker Molly Deahl, Business Liaison for the Pennyrile Area Development District, spoke to students about following their own timeline, and that life doesn’t always have to go as planned. Mrs. Deahl shared a quote from Ellen DeGeneres saying, “Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, and never follow someone else’s path – unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. Then by all means follow that path.”
Salutatorian honors went to Ms. Cadie Davis as she excelled in achieving her high school diploma and completing her pharmacy technician trade. Valedictorian Ms. Camri Mixon was recognized for her outstanding skills as she completed her Certified Medical Assistant (CMA), phlebotomy technician, and EKG technician trades.
