Congratulations to FETC's December/January Students of the Month: Chase Ryan and Alexis Johnson!

Chase Ryan is a junior from Upshur County, currently enrolled in his first year of our Diesel Equipment Technology program. Mr. Charles Smith, Diesel instructor, shared that "Chase is aways happy. He asks me every day how my day is going. He works hard and helps his peers if they need it."

Alexis Johnson, a senior from Lewis County High School, will be completing our Carpentry program this year. When asked about Alexis, Carpentry instructor Mr. Randy Cunningham commented that she "is an awesome student. Alexis has great leadership qualities and is a very likable person. She is very organized and goes above and beyond class duties. She gets along with others very well and is always willing to help others with different projects or needs. She has very good grades and good attendance. She is always prepared to do what needs to be taken care of."

Please join us in celebrating Chase and Alexis for their achievements this year and as they continue reaching for their futures!
