June 2026

The last few weeks of the school year are truly the best time of the school year. Whether it's Field Day, senior award ceremonies, or graduation, it's an exciting time and a good chance to end the year with lots of smiles. This year was no different! It's been a great year in Marshall County Schools.

Here's to a wonderful summer!

For over 50 years, Spot Lowe Technology Center has been a cornerstone of local career preparation for Marshall County students. Now, a strategic $2.8 million expansion, with construction that began in December 2025, is transforming its 1974 footprint into a modern hub designed for the next generation of skilled professionals.

This progress was recently reviewed by Mrs. Joan Lowe and Bill Lowe, the widow and son of W.R. “Spot” Lowe, who the building is named after. They toured the building on the afternoon of May 1, along with friend Trigg Cathey. Bill was in town from Oklahoma to visit his 91-year-old mother.

Spot Lowe was Lewisburg’s State Representative for 14 years until his death in 1981 and was known as “Mr. Vocational Education.” He was the driving force in vocational education in Tennessee, convincing the legislature to appropriate $200 million to the program in 1973. To put that in perspective, in today’s dollar that would be equivalent to roughly $1.49 billion!

CTE Director Frank Musgrave gave the group a tour of the building, with both Mrs. Lowe and Bill reminiscing and amazed at the addition to the programs in the building. Mrs. Lowe, a former Marshall County educator, commented several times on how proud her husband would be to see how the building and programs have expanded, as well as student enrollment increasing over the years. Bill was excited to see the automotive shop where he took a class in 1976.

Mrs. Lowe also stated how pleased she was that her husband’s legacy is in the “very good hands” of Mr. Musgrave and the staff at Spot Lowe Technology Center. She became teary-eyed when she talked about him to the staff while they were on their lunch break that afternoon.

The expansion project will increase total building space by over 17%, and will include a 3,800-square-foot wing dedicated to an Engineering Lab and Middle School Career Exploration Lab. This space will allow younger students to discover their passions earlier, creating a seamless pipeline from middle school curiosity to advanced high school engineering. The Nursing Services program will move into a larger, more versatile space; the automotive shop will have an additional bay for diagnostics; and the machining shop expansion will accommodate new high-tech equipment.

"Our building may have outgrown its walls, but it will never outgrow the spirit of the man who started it all," commented CTE Director Frank Musgrave.

Eight Spot Lowe Technology Center Health Science students recently passed the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam, administered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). A certified medical assistant dual enrollment program with TCAT-Pulaski is offered at Spot Lowe and has been taught by Mary Ann Haynes for the past two years.

A Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) bridges the gap between patient care and clinic operations. This credential qualifies one to work in hospitals, private practices, and urgent care facilities performing both clinical procedures and administrative duties. Clinical duties performed may include: measure and record vital signs, prepare exam rooms, assist with minor medical procedures, and sterilize equipment; perform phlebotomy, run EKGs, and conduct basic point-of-care testing. Welcoming patients, arranging referrals, processing medical insurance claims, and updating patient files are some of the administrative tasks that a CCMA may do on a daily basis.

Congratulations to the following students pictured (back row, L-R) Torie Adams; Yami De La Paz; Samantha Dunnivant; Rylynn Haase; Mya Corsetti; Olivia Baker; Jenny Jett, and Fisher Wiles. Pictured with the students are health science teachers Mrs. Lynda Skillington (far left); Ms. Mary Ann Haynes (right); and Mr. Frank Musgrave, CTE Director.

The CHES Running Rocketeers, under the direction of Mrs. Jennifer Gaskill, brings together 57 third grade students every Wednesday in April and May. This program encourages students to build healthy habits while having fun with their peers. Meeting every Wednesday in April and May, students jog or run at their own pace, setting personal goals and tracking their progress over time. The students are also training for a one mile fun run around the school, that was held on May 8. Students at CHES were there to cheer on their classmates during the fun run.

By participating in Running Rocketeers, these third grade students are gaining a lifelong appreciation for fitness and learning the importance of staying active every day.

Congratulations to the award-winning Westhills Elementary Chorus for bringing home another 1st place trophy from the Holiday World Music Festival, held May 9, in Santa Claus, IN. The chorus, under the director of Ms. Nora Toms, won 1st place in their division and 6th grader, Emma Berens, took home the trophy for Best Overall Vocal Soloist. This annual educational and performance invites band and choir students from across multiple states to perform, receive professional adjudication, and enjoy the park. Congratulations!
