Prescott School District students had the privilege to meet PHS Class of ‘86 alumni, Mr. Nathan Tidwell, who wanted to give back to his community, school and Prescott students. Mr. Tidwell donated the funds to pay for five yearbooks for each PSD campus. Parents that attended parent teacher conferences on the Thursday before spring break had the opportunity to put their child’s name in a basket at their perspective campus to draw for a yearbook. Mr. Tidwell traveled to join us today to draw names. Students whose names were drawn and won a yearbook are as follows: PES - Elizabeth Brewster Avery Cox Mailk Gulley Maila Gulley Zeni McMorris Trevor Trevillion PJHS - Christopher Akin Alannah Hopper Jay’lah Marks Ameliah McKay Ja’Nevia Paxton PHS - Xavier Gulley Matthew Huey Mary Munoz Ainsley Rothenberger Autumn Sullivan These students met with Mr. Tidwell and were very appreciative of his kindness. Thank you, Mr. Tidwell! #impactthepack

Four University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana Secondary Career & Technical Education Center students recently passed the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 608 Exam. Three of those students were from Prescott. Elijah Cox, Gavin Hatley, and Kage Hillery all passed the test on the first attempt. To work in the HVAC industry, technicians who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of refrigerant-containing equipment must be certified under the EPA’s Section 608 of the Clean Air Act. The EPA exam is not a requirement of the UAHT HVAC program; however, these students took the initiative to take the test while still in class. All of the students agreed that they were ready and well prepared by their instructor, Leo Rateliff, to go ahead and take the test. “The content we learned in our HVAC course prepared us to pass the test without having to do a lot of extra studying,” they said. The students are taking the HVAC course for free through the UAHT Secondary Career & Technical Education Center provided to their respective high schools. The Secondary Career Center provides service area high school juniors and seniors with the unique opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school at no charge. The students all agreed that being able to take technical courses like this while still in high school gives them a great advantage. “We are able to get a one to two-year head start on our careers and save money because the classes are free,” they said. “The training provided through the UAHT Secondary Career Center prepares students to go to work quickly in HVAC or other fields. As soon as we graduate high school, we can either continue earning credentials at UAHT, start our own business, work for an HVAC company, or work for almost any industry because they also have HVAC needs. We believe every student should take advantage of these free courses.”
