Responding to what STW has meant to the Carlisle County
School District, School Superintendent Ron McAlister stated, "it
has caused us to focus on raising our standards for student achievement
and to have higher expectations of all students. The STW Program, which
has been well received by our teachers, has encouraged us to eliminate some
general track courses and to develop more challenging tech prep courses
to help students better prepare themselves for career decisions."
Mr. McAlister stated that as teachers and students at all
levels become involved in STW activities and, as parents become more engaged
in their children's education, they are more encouraged to focus on career
planning at an earlier age thus increasing their children's future opportunities
for success in the workplace. With respect to future goals for STW, his
interest is in better student results and feels the program should be designed
to help more students achieve their full potential in whatever career path
they choose.
