Partnership saves the district
P
ass Christian High School students are taking vocational technical courses this fall at the Hancock County School District Vocational Technical Center, thanks to an agreement worked out by the two districts’ superintendents and board of trustees. Without the partnership, Pass Christian students would have been without vo-tech options this year, caused by the closing of a consortium to which their district belonged. Instead, Pass Christian students have joined with their peers from Hancock High School and Bay High School to take vocational courses of their choice. Pass Christian Superintendent Sue Matheson made the initial contact with Hancock County Superintendent Alan Dedeaux. One thing led to another, and viola! Pass Christian students are enjoying the benefits of attending Hancock County Vocational Technical Center. The addition of Pass Christian students brings the enrollment of the vocational technical center to 455 students.
