The OVCTC Arizona Judging team had a good performance at the Arizona Nationals in Phoenix. We were not the high team of the day, but we do know that over 320 contestants and 100 teams across the nation competed in the livestock judging event and that we were in the upper percentile. Each student put up good scores in both evaluating and talking oral reasons. Team members evaluated high quality livestock and enjoyed hiking and seeing the sights around or near Phoenix. Many of the students saw the Grand Canyon for the very first time, and the entire trip was one for the record books. Each student will have memories to last a lifetime! A special thank you to each and every individual and business who helped make this possible!
The OVCTC Information Systems Technology program listened to a presentation from Chief Todd May of the AFRS Fire Department Emergency Drone Response Team. The AFRS coordinates state and federal response to emergencies. IST students with the proper coding skills can program drones and potentially work for this type of agency!

OVCTC Ag Business class is very thankful for the community partners that we have! We would like to send a special “Thank You” to Mark Wickerham and West Union Electric and Plumbing for donating supplies for our senior electrical projects! The students were required to lay out, measure, install, and troubleshoot at times their circuit boards to properly function. They wired a single pole combination switch and receptacle, an additional receptacle, and two lights bulbs that had to be completely functional. The presentation of the circuit boards had to be very neat and accurately constructed. Front row left to right: Grant McClanahan, Madison Beach, Braxton Francis, and Michael Teyber. Back row: David Raines, Eric Stanfield, Shellby Boldman, Hannah Grooms, and Garrett Emerson. Thanks again to West Union and Electric and Plumbing and Merry Christmas from the OVCTC Ag Business class!
The OVCTC Faculty & Staff did an excellent job bringing holiday cheer to the building this month with their Christmas door / hallway decorations!
World History classes have been studying the topic of imperialism with Mr. Crump at the OVCTC. Students had to create a Christmas Tree that illustrated the reasons behind imperialism, hence the title of the project "Roots of Imperialism". Students had to reference, and research previous information covered on the topic and label them on the Christmas tree. These 10 examples were illustrated on the tree in the form of an ornament. They had three days of class to complete the project. They were graded on a rubric and then the staff judged the projects based on craftsmanship and design. The Top Three projects were as follows.
1st- Chloe Gibson, Anika Chamblin, and Kylee Donahue.
2nd- Addison Fist
3rd- Emily Evans, Kristrin Tackett, Garrett Emmerson
