Mr. Burge has been working hard with his Computerized Machining and Manufacturing (CMM) students to prepare them for industry certification tests. Five students earned a CNC Operator industry certification this week. Congratulations to Devon Shelley, Acie Douglas, William Carberry, Camerun Coleman, and Axel Noel. #TechPays

This past weekend Mrs. Arnold took our our HOSA members to Louisville to compete at the state level. We are proud of the students and their hard work. Paisley Gay and Lily States placed 3rd in the state in Health Care Display! Great job ladies!

During the month of February at LCATC the word of the month for our students was Perseverance. The meaning of this word is doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. The following has had great success this month. Bryon Bailey (Industrial Maintenance/HVAC), Jayde Rothwell (Health Science), Acie Douglas (Computerized Manufacturing), Mason Waddell (Computer Science), and Colton Harris (Welding). Congrats on being named students of the month! #TechPays #Studentofthemonth

Mr. Basham and his Industrial Maintenance/HVAC students are working to get their new gas furnaces set up. Jordan Moore and James Wilson are pictured working together installing brackets and unistrut for the project. Great work! #Workreadywednesday #TechPays

I am very proud of Mrs. Arnold and our SRNA students. Yesterday they finished their clinical hours at Rockcastle Regional. Great job Kaylee Atkins, Payton Byrd, Mercedes Hensley, Maelynn King, Paige Sebastian, and Destiny Henrickson. #Workreadywednesday #TechPays

Congrats to Evan Estes on earning his EPA 608 Universal Certification! #KYCTEmonth #TechPays This certification is required for every technician to demonstrate that technicians have the knowledge and ability to safely maintain, service, repair, or dispose of refrigerant-containing equipment in order to help preserve and protect the environment. 1. For servicing small appliances (Type I). 2. For servicing or disposing of high- or very high-pressure appliances, except small appliances and MVACs (Type II). 3. For servicing or disposing of low-pressure appliances (Type III). 4. For servicing all types of equipment (Universal). Achieving the Universal level ensures you are certified in every type of equipment. Fortunately, once you have obtained your certification you will never have to take the test again. The certification never expires and never has to be renewed. Great Job!

Wow!!! Four HVAC students just earned their EPA 608 Universal Certification!

Logan Oney is hard at work brazing 3/8" copper refrigeration tubing in his HVAC class today. Today each student learned a necessary skill needed by all HVAC service technicians. The swaging process is used to make a permanent braze connection, and is essential in the HVAC industry. #workreadywednesday #TechPays

Mr. Burge and his "Engineering 1" students had some great things going this morning. Pictured are Nolan Hamm, Austin Rhodus, and Thomas Naylor milling out a piece of aluminum for an ink pen holder that they designed. #workreadywednesday #TechPays

Communication skills are a must in the workforce. Skyler Long is not only putting his skills in welding to the test. He is teaching others as well.

The new welding lab at the Lincoln County High School Technology Center is nearing completion (95% complete). Students are enrolled in classes now and will be able to use the brand new lab and equipment this semester. Three different types of welding are being taught to students; Stick, MIG and TIG. The lab is also equipped with a plasma cutter and a 56 ton punch press and brake. Students will have the ability to weld with or without gas in the new lab also.
