In making the presentation, Caughron stated, "Becky has been an exemplary supporter of career & technical education! She understands how crucial it is for our students to develop superb technical skills & achieve industry recognized credentials. In a time where the skills gap is great, we must do all that we can to prepare an educated and skilled workforce for our communities, as well as prepare students to go on to further their education in their chosen career fields. It is comforting to know that an educator such as Becky O'Dell is an avid supporter of all that we do. Becky works closely with our counselor and teachers to ensure students are placed appropriately in programs. She follows up on students who may be struggling to see what they need to do to improve and helps our counselor encourage good attendance. Becky is an amazing advocate for her students, providing extra information when we need it to make good decisions about acceptance into our programs. Becky, thank you for your service to our school, being a positive influence on students & helping prepare students for career success!"
