Two graduating seniors are leaving a mark on the Kodiak Island Borough School District in the form of a well-crafted metal sign now in front of the Central Services building.
Dalton Horn and Jackson Roberts, students in Kodiak High School welding teacher Anthony Cavanâs class, were approached by Superintendent Larry LeDoux to work on a project.
âDr. LeDoux came down and said he wanted something cool to really represent the school district and give some new life to the Central Services front area,â Horn said. âWe took that to heart and made a really flamboyant sign.â
Now installed in a planter box, the display incorporates all the elements of the KIBSD logo above the buildingâs name, along with the districtâs mantra, âEngaged in Learning, Prepared for Life.â
The faculty and staff at the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine now know who will be in their inaugural class. There was a specific mission in mind when deciding who the admissions committee would offer the opportunity to study at the Tech School of Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. John Dascanio is a theriogenology professor and is the senior associate dean for Academic and Student Services at the Tech School of Veterinary Medicine. Dascanio discussed the mission that was kept in mind for what the admissions committee was looking for.
âWe had a very unique admissions process that was tied very close to our mission to serving rural and regional Texas and even beyond that,â Dascanio said. âIt was highly focused on the individualâs personal attributes and their life experiences. Their story, history and experiences had to align with serving our rural and regional communities.â
