The students at Breathitt High School have participated in several transition activities this Fall thanks to Dr. Will Kayatin.  Our students had the opportunity to attend the conference at Big Sandy Community Technical College.  The students were able to attend various sessions which provided them with important information that made them aware that they have many post-secondary options available to them as well as provided them information on becoming better advocates for themselves. The students enjoyed the conference and indicated that they would like to go again.

In November, Dr. Will Kayatin arranged for Chad Perry to do a drone presentation for our students.  The students enjoyed the demonstration.  There favorite part was being able to fly the drone by themselves.  At this time Dr. Kayatin also introduce me to the new contact person for the Carl D. Perkins Center.  We are planning on having her to come as a guest speaker for our students and arranging for our students to tour the facility.

In December, we had Chad Perry as a guest speaker.  The students enjoyed having him.  He is known to them as the drone man, so they were interested in what he had to say. 

Our students enjoy participating in the transition activities and look forward to each visit from Dr. Kayatin.  As a teacher, I am thankful for all of the transition opportunities that our students have been able to experience because of Dr. Kayatin's interest in them and KVEC. Our hope it that participating in these activities will enable our students to become better students and more prepared for the future.
