Our JROTC students had an incredible opportunity to visit Naval Air Station Pensacola and experience the world of aviation and military careers firsthand!

Students watched the Blue Angels practice, met the pilots, toured the museum at Pensacola NAS, and enjoyed lunch on base. From seeing the precision and skill of the Blue Angels up close to learning about the careers and opportunities available in aviation and the military, this was an experience our students will not soon forget.

We are proud to provide students with opportunities that allow them to see careers in action, meet professionals in the field, and imagine what their own future could look like.

On Tuesday, a group of our seniors toured Florida State University Panama City!

Students learned about the admissions process, academic programs, classrooms, student center, and campus resources. They also explored spaces for podcasting, broadcasting, music, and media production, while enjoying beautiful views of St. Andrew’s Bay.

After the campus tour, we headed to Dave & Buster’s for lunch and some well-deserved fun! While it was definitely a reward for a great day, it also gave students an opportunity to experience a different type of industry and entertainment environment and see firsthand how hospitality, technology, gaming, customer service, and entertainment come together in a real-world business.

From exploring college opportunities to experiencing new environments and industries, our goal is to Expose. Educate. Empower.

We had a great time taking Dothan Tech Education & Training students to tour Troy University today. They had the chance to experience different aspects of campus life and were also able to meet with faculty from the College of Education to learn about the various degree options, ask questions about classes, and gain insight into preparing for the transition to college and life after Troy.

We are grateful to everyone who took time today to invest in our students.

Last week Dothan High School students had the opportunity this morning to explore dual enrollment programs offered at Dothan Tech through Wallace Community College.

They heard directly from instructors and got a firsthand look at the labs and classroom spaces where real-world skills are developed.

The visit continued with a tour of Wallace’s main campus, where students learned an important takeaway: these career pathways offer flexibility and freedom. Instructors emphasized that graduates in these fields are in demand everywhere, meaning students can choose where they want to live and build their careers with confidence.

When you gain skills that are needed everywhere, the choice of where to live becomes yours.

Dothan High School juniors wrapped up their spring college tour experience yesterday with a visit to The University of Alabama.

The day began at the Randall Welcome Center, where students explored stories of the legends who have shaped the university’s legacy. From there, they toured key parts of campus life; including recreation centers, residence halls, the student center, food court, and bookstore.

During the bus tour, students took in a broader view of campus, seeing academic buildings, sorority and fraternity row, The Quad, and Bryant-Denny Stadium.

It was a strong finish to a season of exploration, giving students a clearer vision of college life and helping them take the next step toward their future goals.

Dothan Preparatory Academy 8th graders had an incredible opportunity at Wallace Community College! They explored hands-on career pathways using the Alabama Community College System’s Innovation Center Skills for Success simulation trailer: featuring state-of-the-art equipment like a semi-truck, forklift, excavator, police vehicle, and fire truck.

Students also toured the Industrial Systems and Welding programs and experienced the Health Sciences Simulation labs, gaining real insight into a variety of high-demand career fields.

Experiences like these are invaluable in helping our students begin to envision their future and make informed decisions about their career paths. We are truly grateful Wallace investing in our students and opening doors to such meaningful opportunities.

After a great Spring Break, our students are back on the road visiting college campuses! Today, we enjoyed beautiful spring weather at the The University of South Alabama in Mobile.

Students had the opportunity to speak with and ask questions to admissions counselor Ms. Dymon Burke and Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services Mr. Matthew Cox. They also explored campus life firsthand, touring residence halls, the recreation center, and academic classrooms.

We wrapped up the visit with lunch in the student center and a stop by the campus bookstore.

Our students are truly blessed to be part of a school system that provides opportunities and funding for experiences like these. These visits play such an important role in helping them envision their future!
