Walls, who was keynote speaker, told students they made a good decision to attend TCAT Elizabethton. Welding was the first choice of students in the region who made a commitment to attend TCAT Elizabethton when they graduate from high school. Earlier in his career, Walls was a high school science teacher and farmer in Mississippi for ten years. He is a graduate of the University of Mississippi, and holds a B.S. degree in Forensic Science and M.Ed. degree in Science Education and Educational Administration.
Welding with 21 signups, Industrial Electricity with 16, and Diesel with 12 were the most popular programs of study selected by high school students in the region for the annual NC3 Signing Day event held at TCAT Elizabethton on Thursday (March 5). The event was rescheduled from Feb. 20 and Feb. 27 when schools were closed due to snow.
