Carroll County Area Technology Center students demonstrated their skills for Kathryn Winn Primary students last week. (More photos on the District Facebook page.)
Carroll County Area Technology Center’s electrical technology students will begin learning about solar power. A public presentation is scheduled for this evening to share information about how to incorporate solar power into a residence.
“I’ve always been interested in solar energy,” said John “Tooter” Booth, the electrical instructor and a master electrician. He noted it was a very complicated and expensive process to utilize solar power in a family’s home, but that has changed.
“Anybody can install it at their home and it’s a whole lot more reasonable,” Booth added
His students will install a solar field behind the ATC and the study of solar energy will become part of the curriculum for his class.
Nick Shelton, co-founder and owner of Dynamic Solar Systems will give the solar energy presentation at 6:30 p.m. in the CCMS auditorium. The public is invited to attend.

Taylor Harsin and Alex Bolton have set new school records during indoor track season.
Taylor, a senior, and Alex, a freshman, broke the previous CCHS records according to data on KyMileSplit.com. This is only the second year indoor track has been a sanctioned sport in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, but the indoor team has competed at various events for several years.
Taylor now holds the record in the 3200m after running 11:58.56 and Alex holds the 1600m record after running 5:16.71.
