SCCTC Veterinary Science program

Proud moment for Vet Science and CTC! 🐾
Thank you, Senator Koehler, for recognizing Gabby, one of our recent graduates and former FFA Officer!

Gabby, congratulations on this well-deserved honor—we're excited to see all you'll accomplish in the future! 🎓💙

I had the privilege of having Gabriella Halderman shadow my office in Columbus today. Gabriella is a recent Clark CTC graduate who is heading to Sinclair Community College to be a Veterinary Technician.

Besides being in 4H, she is also a Clark County Fair Queen candidate who drove all the way to Columbus, just to see how government works up close.

Among other things, she attended a Controlling Board hearing where we discussed how we are spending your tax dollars. She also met the Ohio House Clerk and the Senate President’s Chief of Staff.

Gabby and I discussed legislation I have worked on regarding everything from farm equipment on highways to the # of chicks you’re allowed to buy at a farm store.

I also asked her to review House Bill 664 that would expand her responsibilities as a Vet Tech. It just passed the Ohio House and we will hold hearings in the Senate when we return in the Fall.

I am excited to see someone genuinely interested in how government works. Her enthusiasm made a long day a little brighter.

Juniors in the Vet Science program made 3D models of the circulatory and respiratory system of different species! They found objects around the classroom and lab to use for their projects. They had the chance to show off their work to peers and explain what they learned in this unit! 🫁🐶
