A $12,000 grant for VOCATS test banks for home economics competency based curriculum was also approved last year and Linda Dixon, chair- man of the Home Economics Department, presented a program at a conference for all teachers. The Business Department is also participating with McDowell County, Rutherford County and Shelby Schools in electronic mail networking following receipt of a grant by the Rutherford County system. Local personnel have attended workshops and Mrs. Gamble said the purpose of the system is better communication among the various systems. Last year 42 KMSHS vocational students attend- ed vocational student organization conferences and last year the staff attended 52 professional development workshops which represented two conferences each for the instructors. “Our in- structors are just tops and on top of what’s current in vocational education,” she said. Mrs. Gamble said that local industry and business have always cooperated in the Co op pro- gram, noting that Combustion Engineering loaned Buddy Humphries as an instructor for several months in the welding department at KMSHS dur- ing the illness of Bud Bumgardner. Students in the various vocational courses said KM Students To Be Rewarded Students in all grades in the Kings Mountain District Schools can be rewarded for outstanding contributions in two programs announced Monday night by Supt. Bob McRae. Students in grades K-5 may participate in the Terrific Kids program being sponsored by the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club and McDonald’s Restaurant. Students who make outstan- ding accomplishments will receive certificates of achieve- ment from the Kiwanis Club, and && a special certificate worth goodies at McDonald’s. Con- tributions may be in the areas of good grades, citizenship, im- proved attendance, or through many other contributions. Win- ners will be selected by teachers and school employees. ‘“This is not necessarily a pro- gram for making straight A’s,” said McRae, ‘but, of course, that’s included in it. But students can be rewarded for many other accomplishments. Our prin- cipals are really excited about this program and we thank the Kiwanis Club and Bill Sherwood of McDonald’s for making it available to our students.” Students in grades six through 12 may receive tickets to Turn To Page 4-B BUSINESS EDUCATION - Sham Gardner, sitting at computer, and Mitzi Hinson receive computer instruction from Sheila Sisk, in- structor, center, at KMSHS. this week they are benefitting from their voca- tional experiences and after graduation the voca- tional backgrounds will improve their chances of finding employment. A statewide survey conducted this year by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction quoted students surveyed as saying that vocational ex- perience was a main reason they stayed in school. The Division of Vocational Education of the State Department of Public Instruction each year surveys students who completed secondary voca- tional programs. Vocational education is one area being highlighted during American Education Week, Nov. 13-19. During the 1987-88 academic year, 323,147 students-nearly two thirds of the young people in grades 7-12, were enrolled in vocational classes. Statewide, the survey showed 94 percent of those seeking employment find it. And 43 percent of pro- gram completers continue their education beyond high school. Ninety four percent of the more than 28,000 students who responded to the survey said they were ‘‘satisfied”’ or ‘‘very satisfied” with their vocational experiences in high school. Only 82 percent said they were ‘‘satisfied”’ or “very satisfied” with their other high school ex- periences. Only 6 percent of the 1986-87 completers were unemployed and seeking ‘full-time work | when they were surveyed this year. The | unemployment rate for the 16-19 year-old category statewide is 13.6 percent. Mrs. Gamble said that many KMSHS vocational students attend college after high school gradua- tion. wo Ws, hE DIAMONDS are forever... BUT THIS PRICE ISN'T! 226 S.
