The Iosco RESA Career and Technical Education Center would like to take this opportunity to recognize George Kirby as “Professional Student of the Month” for September 2025. George is the son of Holly Smith and Robert Kirby. He is senior at Oscoda Area High School.

George Kirby is a second year student in the Welding & Fabrication course. George has an outstanding work ethic. It starts with his unwavering attendance. He is here every day and contributes positively to our classroom or in the lab. He turns in every assignment and does quality, accurate work. George has picked up where he left off, and continues to be a leader in our class. He has already completed one of his leadership projects for the Tech Center and has plans to do more. George is a great asset to our program and will do amazing things in the future as a welder.

The following is what was true of him last year & is still true today. His time spent in the lab shows his commitment to our trade. He doesn’t wait to be told what to do. He spends every minute practicing or fabricating his projects. For example, George was a lead fabricator in his leadership team. They built a park bench for the Tech Center, and it will be utilized here at the Tech Center for everyone to enjoy. Another example of George’s creativity and skill was showcased in the project he submitted for our MITES competition. He made the infinity cube, and this was featured at the Tawas Art Gallery. Many people made inquiries about if he would be willing to sell his cube. This is the ultimate compliment! George has a bright future ahead of him as a welder & fabricator.

To be nominated for “Professional Student of the Month”, a student must have outstanding work ethics, no absences or tardies for the month, no discipline issues and at least a B grade point average. Iosco RESA Tech Center offers the following programs for 11th and 12th grade students: Automotive Technology, Aeronautics/General Aviation, Building Trades, Business Management, Culinary Arts & Restaurant Management, Health Science, Teacher Prep Academy, and Welding & Fabrication. For more information about these programs call 989-362-3006 ext. 1163.

These amazing teacher cadets spent the day at SVSU attending the LIFT conference for future teachers. We attended breakout sessions with topics ranging from how to get involved on campus to early literacy to the importance of building relationships in class. We toured the beautiful campus and ate delicious college food. It was an all around fantastic day to be a future teacher.
