Exciting opportunity for 8th grade students at Roane County Schools!
Today, students are touring RSCC and the new TCAT Harriman. They are the first student group to visit the new TCAT building!
During the visit, students are learning about the many pathways available after high school, including college programs, technical training, and career opportunities right here in our community. Experiences like this help students begin thinking about their future and the options available to them.
Happy School Nurse Day to our amazing Roane County Schools nurses!
