#1 Team from Alabama to Ever Compete in SECME Nationals

We have been SECME-TIZED!  SECME (Southeastern Consortium of Minorities in Engineering) is a national strategic alliance to renew and strengthen the professional capacity of K-12 educators, motivate and mentor students, and empower parents so that all students can learn and achieve at higher levels. This past April students from Tuskegee Institute Middle School, To’Maz Pritchett, Lee Richardson, Sergio Royster, Jarquavious Slaughter and Columbus Williams, Jr., competed in the Regional SECME Mousetrap Car Competition on the campus of Tuskegee University and won. The students competed with students from the following counties; Montgomery, Bullock, Dallas and the East Metro Atlanta area. The judges were impressed with the technical report and willingness to design a more efficient car on the spot. This summer, three of Macon County’s finest; To’Maz Pritchett, Sergio Royster and Columbus Williams, Jr., traveled and participated in the 37^th Annual Summer Institute National Mousetrap Car and Robotics competition held in Daytona Beach, Florida. The students gained more knowledge on how to improve the mousetrap car design and networked with students from Georgia, Florida, Texas and the Bahamas. Our students were voted “Most Popular” by their peers. Job well done and we look forward to seeing them compete next year in the robotics competition!  Kudos to Ms Belinda Hart, Science Teacher at TIMS and Mrs. Rosemary Wright, TIMS Principal!

Students in the Macon County Public School System took great effort and pride in attending the WIA - Workforce Development Improvement Act 2013 Summer Program. Students had the opportunity to participate in a series of prudent topics/sessions: Drop By Drop, Harassment Is, EverFI Financial Literacy, Safety Orientation, Career Counseling, Workplace Violence, and Math and Reading Tutorials.

These students reported to the Career and Technical Education Center daily with their minds made up as to what they want out of life. Their goals are to complete the program, graduate from high school, and enter college and/or the workforce. We (Mrs. Ronita Abney, Mrs. Marilyn Renfore, Mrs. Juan Macon, Mrs Cynthia Brown,

Mr. Christopher Clark, Mr. William Turner, and Mr. Tracy Stacy) have enjoyed working with the students. The lessons learned and time spent have no limits, we really enjoyed each of you this summer and look forward to your return.

The program is projected to continue for the 2013-2014 academic year. We continue to encourage students and parents to sign up for participation. The curriculum is phenomenal and the exposure is invaluable. Again, the program is open any student in the Macon County Public School System ages 16-21. If the student is a recent graduate and has not exceeded the age of 21 they are eligible. For program information, please contact:

Dr. Melvin A. Lowe, III, EdD - Program Administrator (334.724.1236) or lowema@maconk12.org
