Our first HCTC Students of the Month have been announced! Each month, we are extremely proud to recognize some of our students who go above and beyond in everything they do while in our buildings. This month, we are excited to show off 12 HCTC students who make an impact on their classmates and teachers each and every day!

She is a terrific asset to the classroom.

She is humble, self-reflective, and easy to share ideas with, and her enthusiasm and willingness to try new things is contagious. Jenna is also always respectful and compassionate. I am very proud of her!
Sophia Calcia, Fire Fighter I:
Sophia is consistently one of the first students to volunteer to practice new skills. She was the first person to volunteer to take on leadership responsibilities in the class, taking on the Lieutenant position when we created fire companies in the class.

His proactive attitude, problem-solving skills, and passion for technology make him a leader in the classroom. His honesty and forthright nature when things don't go perfectly the first time make him a trusted collaborator in our classroom.

Nora is currently interning with the Ellsworth Emergency Medical Services, which requires her to miss class time. She's learning valuable skills while rocking her in class assignments as well!
Addy Dowsland, Criminal Justice:
Addy has been a joy to have in class. She is a quiet leader, and has taken a great deal of initiative in and out of classroom. She is a quick learner with academic and practical content. She takes pride in her work and is always prepared.
Liana Seavey, Education & Human Services:
It has been wonderful to see Liana come out of her shell and build stronger, more positive interactions with her classmates. Liana has developed a confidence in herself that is evident in the way she communicates, participates, and approaches her day-to-day responsibilities. Liana also has a clear sense of what she wants for her future and is making thoughtful choices about her plans after high school. She has shown that she is willing to put in the effort and take the steps necessary to work toward her goals. In addition to her academics and school responsibilities, Liana is currently participating in two sports while also balancing her home and work life with her athletic schedules. Managing all of these responsibilities requires organization, commitment, and time management, and she has demonstrated growth in all of these areas. Overall, it has been incredibly rewarding to watch Liana's progress. She is becoming more confident, responsible, and independent, and I am excited to see where her continued growth and determination takes her in the future.
