Mrs. Hall is a huge asset to our community and school. As an advisory board member for the Business/FBLA program, she provides us with invaluable insight into the world of work.  As the People Lead at our local LaFayette Walmart, she is constantly helping to employ students in an effort to help provide valuable work experiences for our future young adults.  As a former educator, she sees the need for students to learn appropriate employability skills for their future employment.  In addition, she is available for insight and advice for our WBL program as Walmart consistently employs between 5-10 students each semester.  Walmart is also consistently making donations to our school and we love the inpact these donations have for our student body.

Mrs. McWhorter has been teaching for 4 years. She has her Associates Degree in Management and Marketing, her Bachelor's Degree in Technology Management, and her Master's in the Art of Teaching- Business Education. Here is what Mrs. McWhorter has to say about herself: "I have always wanted to be a teacher.  However, I decided to work my way through college by working in a busy office.  I quickly realized that I had a talent and love for business, entrepreneurship, marketing and management.  I changed my major to Business but never lost that love and passion for teaching.  I have held many roles in the business world but my strengths always seemed to be concentrated in training, teaching and mentoring.  I decided to get my masters degree, but instead of the MBA I had always planned on, I surprised everyone by pursuing an MAT and entering the education field.  I am immensely passionate about CTAE and the place that it has in our country and more specifically, our region.  I am a believer in building relationships with students and finding what their passion is.  My favorite phrase to use is "No one ever found their passion by filling out a worksheet."  This philosophy keeps me brainstorming innovative and creative ideas to help students tap into their potential and explore their passions and talents and learn how to use those in a way that will enhance and add value to our community."

Anthony is planning to attend a 4 year university or college.  He is currently undecided on a major but is leaning toward marketing.  He is a current LHS basketball player and is focused on attaining a scholarship to play basketball at the collegiate level.  Anthony's strengths are his ability to lead others, public speaking and an ability to understand how people feel and think.  He is always available to help other students and goes out of his way to make his fellow classmates feel seen and included.
