2016 Med Prep Pinning Ceremony

Tri Star Career Compact’s junior Med Prep students hosted the annual Med Prep pinning ceremony for senior Med Prep students on Tuesday, April 19th at the Dennings Vocational Building, St. Marys. Approximately 70 parents, relatives, friends, school staff and administration filled the Med Prep classroom for the celebration.

Lindsey Bergman, a junior Med Prep student, gave the Welcome message followed by senior Jacey King who gave the seniors’ thoughts. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the caduceus pin to each senior from Med Prep instructor, Brenda Speck. Pinning marks the time in which seniors enter the last few weeks of their high school career in the Med Prep program. They will wear the caduceus during final observations of various medical professions and throughout their future medical careers. Each senior was also presented with a career passport from Tri Star Director Tim Buschur. Following the pinning, a candle lighting ceremony was held which is a symbolic gesture of the passage of knowledge from teacher to seniors and from seniors to juniors. To end the evening, Mrs. Speck gave some closing thoughts and encouragement to the seniors for their future endeavors. View the Senior Pinning Ceremony/Review Powerpoint here.
