PAC, or Panther Accent Connections, is a chance for students to work with their teachers getting the individual help they need or participating in silent reading with their peers. Once a month during this time, students from the Career Choices classes have a guest speaker. Topics range from email etiquette to study skills. This is one more opportunity for our CTE department to extend the skill set of our students through interaction with the business community.
PAC Week, May 5 to 9, will provide a week long set of hour lectures for our CTE students while their peers engage in silent reading or individual instruction.
Our speaker schedule is listed below. If you have a topic you would like to speak on, call us so we can set up a date. We still have need of speakers for PAC week and would welcome your participation.
If you are interested in being a PAC speaker, please contact the Career Development Coordinator or call 387-4411.
