The students at Breathitt County High School were able to experience a variety of transitional experiences during the Fall 2022 semester. These transitional opportunities were offered by KVEC staff and were very beneficial in allowing our students to experience possible future opportunities. During the Fall semester, these students were able to visit the Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg, fly drones, and participate in the Virtual Reality (VR) simulator. 

The students were excited to visit the Big Sandy Community and Technical College campus. Some of these students have never toured a college campus and were able to experience what it's like to be a college student. The students attended seminars on important resources and opportunities that are offered at the college. These sessions were set up much like college classes and students were required to attend different sessions at various times listed on the schedule. This compares much to a college student attending class at a scheduled time. 

The students were able to fly a very expensive drone in November. I was a little nervous due to the drone being expensive but the students did great. They really enjoyed flying the drone. We discussed how drones are used in the world today and how technology continues to change the world. We discussed how we can adapt to these changes and use it to our benefit in the future. 

Dr. Will Kayatin let our student participate in a Virtual Reality simulator in December. The students really enjoyed this opportunity and we had much of the same discussion about how technology continues to advance future opportunities if we take advantage of these opportunities.

Breathitt County High School is very proud and thankful to be a part of this Transition Pilot Program. Thank you to everyone who play a part in making this happen!
