He provided a phenomenal presentation on various career and technical pathways offered through various academies within the county&#8217;s High Schools. These include: NJROTC, Construction, Computer Science, FFA, CTE courses for jobs acting as course credit, and more.\u00a0Being that we are in Crystal River, Thomas honed in on one academy in particular, the Crystal River High School Academy of Health Careers. This includes CNA, EMT, Dental, Biomedical, and\u00a0Veterinary pathways for students, all including high level training facilities on site at the High School, and in personal clinical training at facilities around the county. A truly wonderful program. Many club members (including past presidents) came to me following the meeting to express that this was among the best (if not the #1) presentations they had seen at Rotary, and were amazed at the scope of what our public schools are able to accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017-709x1024.jpg\" alt=\"20240925 123017\" class=\"wp-image-1668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017-709x1024.jpg 709w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017-768x1109.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017-1064x1536.jpg 1064w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017-1418x2048.jpg 1418w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_123017.jpg 1696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">20240925 123017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" src=\"https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_131034-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"20240925 131034\" class=\"wp-image-1669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_131034-1024x714.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_131034-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_131034-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_131034-1536x1071.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kingsbayrotary.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20240925_131034-2048x1428.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">20240925 131034<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas Kennedy was our guest speaker\u00a0last Wednesday.
