Designs Hit the Runway of the 2010 Fashion Show
The Fashion Design program, headed by Ms. Andee Champion, is only in its second year here at North Technical High school, but these seniors have no doubt set the bar high for other fashion designers who will follow. With television programs like Project Runway and America’s Top Model, interest in clothing, fashion designs and trends will not be going away any time soon, thus the new program will no doubt grow in popularity among prospective students in the years to come. Congratulations to the Ms. Champion, the student designers, and models on a successful 2010 fashion show program. Click the video link above to see a short summary of the many designs on display during the night of the show.
Track Team is KPLR 11 Hardees Team of the Week
Now the new 2010 team is attracting some attention of its own. The track team was recently named the Hardees Team of the Week and was highlighted on KPLR 11 Sports Sunday Extra. Such recognition bestowed upon North Technical high would be impressive enough if the school were equipped with modern track and field facilities, but KPLR 11 Sports Sunday Extra noted how this is not the case for the Golden Eagles squad. A lack of track and field facilities has made the Eagle runners train on everything from concrete to grass, but even under such less than desirable training circumstances, the North Technical runners have made the best of it and turned it into success on the field. The hard work and dedication of these Golden Eagle athletes have been the reason that this once upstart fledgling track program has developed into a significant contender today. Congratulations to the 2010 North Technical track and field team, the KPLR 11 Hardees Sports Team of the Week. Watch the KPLR 11 broadcast by clicking the video link on the right.

What words of advice would you give underclassmen who are interested in going to college and/or getting a scholarship offer?
I just want to let them know to be on their best behavior starting the first year of high school because in the end, it will affect them. Also, take scholarships seriously and apply for as many as possible because college is very expensive.

What words of advice would you give underclassmen who are interested in going to college and/or getting a scholarship offer?
Don’t take your free education for granted. You are being given the opportunity to make money just by working hard and staying involved in a few school activities. When I asked my uncle if I could get a job, he told me that school was my job. I worked hard and did every club and activity that I could do in my free time and it was all worth it. That letter offering me money just to learn proves that it’s worth it.

I would tell underclassmen to work hard during their years and try to keep your discipline record clean. Get involved in as much as you can. Plan ahead for scholarships and ask seniors for scholarships they’ve applied for their senior year. Practice for the ACT. It’s an important factor for scholarship reviewers. Lastly, save your money because senior year is expensive and college is also!!!

What words of advice would you give underclassmen who are interested in going to college and/or getting a scholarship offer?
To anyone interested in college or scholarships, I would advise them to work hard, practice on learning new study habits, and work just as hard as you would any other year – during your senior year. Also, apply for colleges early during your senior year, to compete for scholarships.

Precision Machining Senior Headed to Nationals
 North Technical Precision Machining student Nick Moultrie returned from the State SkillsUSA Competition held at Linn State Technical College with a 1st place medal in the CNC Milling Technology contest. This senior now is setting his sights on even higher achievements as he represents North Technical High school in the National Competition which will be held at Kansas City in June. Precision Machining instructor Brett Smith says “Nick Moutrie is an amazing young man who has a bright future ahead of him. Nick comes in everyday with the desire to learn everything he possibly can, making him one of the top students in class. Through his natural ability and hard work, Nick learned more about programming the CNC mill machine than any other student in class. This knowledge helped catapult him into a first place victory at the Skills USA Missouri State Competition, thus giving Nick the privilege to represent North Technical High school at the SkillsUSA Nationals in Kansas City. Not only is he able to program CNC mills, but he is also very talented at operating manual machines (mills, lathes, and surface grinders) and CNC lathes. Nick has a wonderful attitude and an outstanding personality. Anything is possible in his mind. He gets along with his fellow peers and adults equally, and is a pleasure to have as a student.” Nick says he is planning on attending Ranken Technical College after graduating from North Technical. Whatever his future endeavors are, it looks like this North Technical senior is on track to a successful career.
