Taylor County Middle

Students from Mr. Cathel and Mrs. Gerkin's classes had an opportunity to participate in several activities at the Pierpont Aviation Technology Workshop. They received a facility and aircraft tour, learned about basic aircraft and flight theory, constructed and flew aircraft gliders, used a flight simulator and practiced metalworking including drilling and riveting. They left with a greater understanding of aviation and the career pathways available in our region. Thank you to Pierpont Aviation Technology Center for having us today! 

TCMS will have another strategic planning meeting on March 23. Any interested parent or guardian is invited to attend. Please reach out to Mrs. T. tracey.fluharty@k12.wv.us
