On August 14, 2025 we wrapped up our Be Pro Be Proud truck experience at CCHS! 🚚🛠️ This mobile experience gives students the chance to explore options outside of college while learning about the most in-demand trades in South Carolina. BPBP provided hands-on opportunities to try truck driving, forklift operation, welding, and excavating simulators, plus VR experiences for carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, electrical work, and diesel technology.

We’re grateful to our School Board Members Sharon Witkin, Glenn Nixon, and Roman Cunningham for coming out to show their support, along with Leslie Johnson, our Regional Workforce Advisor, and Ms. Charlene Williams, our middle school CDF, for all her assistance. Special thanks to our teachers, students, and MVP student volunteers for making this two-day event a success.

This event was proudly organized by our High School Career Department, Ms. Jasmine Thomas and Mr. Romeo Edwards, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing BPBP staff who kept our students engaged and inspired.
