We're excited to partner with Farm Bureau Insurance Maryville-Alcoa Agency to recognize a Career & Technical Education (CTE) Student of the Month at Heritage High School!

Today, agents Kenny Jarvis, Neal Chaffin, and Caleb Posey visited HHS to celebrate our first honoree of the school year- SENIOR JACKSON DUNN!

Jackson was nominated by Maintenance, Light, and Repair Instructor Tim Goins for his work ethic and performance in the program.

Congratulations to Jackson on this well-deserved recognition and a special thanks to our friends at Farm Bureau for their support of our Mountaineers!
