Congratulations to our most recent MCS Heroes! During our Board of Education meeting on Monday, we celebrated four dedicated MCS employees as MCS Heroes. Nominated by Senior Director of Educational Options, Rachelle Barkus: Career Technical Coordinator (CTE) Sharyl Limbaugh, CTE Analyst I Carol Serpa, CTE Promotion Technician Tasha Hutton and CTE Specialist Sarah Gordin were nominated as MCS Heroes. On January 19, 2023 in partnership with Modesto Chamber of Commerce, Modesto City Schools held the first, "Inspire Youth, Inspire Dreams" event showcasing our Career Technical Education programs to over 4,000 eighth grade students and the community at-large. The team worked behind the scenes with logistical planning, filling SWAG bags, ordering banners, and updating lesson plans to ensure the event went off without a hitch. The inaugural "Inspire Youth, Inspire Dreams" event was a success because of the hard work, service, and dedication of this team. Their initiative and the quality of work they exhibited through planning and execution overall should be commended. They truly are MCS Heroes! Congratulations!!! 👏
