Day 73

Today is National Tradesman Day.  It is a day that honors the men and women whose skills and hard work build America and keep it running strong.  So today we will be highlighting Dee Stark, the Director of Career Technical Education at the Applied Academic Center (AAC).  The South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind’s AAC prepares students for job or continued education upon graduation.  We offer career clusters in agriculture, food, and natural resources; architecture and construction; arts, audio/visual technology, and communications; education and training; human services/family and consumer sciences; information technology; and transportation, distribution, and logistics.

When asked “What is your hope for your school this year?” Dee responded, “I hope for each student to learn as many new skills as they can and earn certifications to ensure their future success in their chosen career field.”  When asked “What do you like to do in your spare time?” Dee replied “I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and pug; reading, cycling, and playing basketball.”
