Welcome to Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center.

The success of Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center is the result of a dedicated and talented staff, vigorous and vigilant parental involvement and a supportive and generous community. As an outstanding career and technology center with a long tradition of excellence in education, Pickaway-Ross values a system of continuous improvement that permeates all its endeavors. We are committed to providing a challenging curriculum, skilled instruction and a learning environment that responds to the career and academic needs of each student. Our work is guided by sound research and the belief that every student is capable of attaining high levels of educational achievement to meet the demands of the modern world.

We believe in the unlimited potential of our students by respecting and developing their unique learning styles and interests. We set challenging and demanding expectations for performance and support all students to achieve high standards. We foster a culture of civility where students and adults are treated with fairness, respected for their contributions and celebrated for their successes. We believe in using data to guide decisions to improve student learning, differentiate instruction and promote social, emotional and physical growth.

Our work together requires teamwork, collaboration and dedication. We believe in the value of cooperation and communication. We believe that commitment to and implementation of continuous learning leads to improved student performance. We believe in the power of personal connections and relations between staff, students, parents and community.

I am fortunate to be part of a professional community that approaches its work with optimism and a tremendous sense of possibility every day. We are bound only by the limits of our talent and our creativity. I lead a team of dedicated administrators, talented teachers and committed support staff, involved families and supportive community members, all working in partnership to strengthen educational excellence.

As we look to the future, we must set clearly defined goals, and measure how well we are achieving those goals. Great organizations have clarity of purpose, common goals, shared commitment and are results-oriented. I look forward to working with each of you to provide the best educational experiences for each and every one of our students.

In these days of increased educational scrutiny, Career Technical and Adult Education is the best value in education. We clearly have a defined purpose at Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center, which is why I am excited about our opportunities ahead!

Dennis L. Franks completed his second year as superintendent of PRJVSD at the end of the 2011-12 school year. A 27-year veteran of career-technical education, Franks previously served the district as director of Adult Education.

High School Awards High School Awards & Achievements& Achievements

Leanna CaltonLeanna Calton Student of the Year

Chillicothe High School

Leanna Calton, a senior from Chillicothe High School in our Carpentry program, was not only named PRCTC Student of the Year, but she also received statewide honors in being selected a Top 20 Success story by the Ohio Department of Education’s division of Career-Technical Education. Leanna’s interest in carpentry was sparked when she worked alongside her father to build an addition to their home. Her leanings toward this career were strengthened by what she learned in her high school carpentry program, which included work on a three-bedroom house - developing it from a rough frame to completion. Additionally, she applied her trade to help create a table and chair set as a memorial to her father. Leanna was a student ambassador as well as a member of the Technical Honor Society. After finishing an apprenticeship program (including an associate degree in construction management) with Carpenter’s Local 200 in Columbus, she hopes to own and operate a woodworking shop of specialized furniture for clients. “I will always have a sense of pride and fulfillment in knowing I played a role in creating a house that a family will call home,” she said.

Pickaway-Ross to grow in Circleville

By Jeff Phillips

“This is such a great opportunity for us,” said Carrie Fife, director of Adult Education for Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center in Chillicothe. The opportunity Fife is referring is the district’s agreement in April 2012 to purchase Mound Street Elementary School from the Circleville City School District. Under an agreement by boards of education for both districts, Pickaway-Ross will pay Circleville $200,000 for the building over the next four years. The purchase allows Pickaway-Ross to relocate its Health Technology programs from a building on the campus of the U.S. Veteran’s Administration site in Chillicothe. Besides newer and larger digs, the move allows Pickaway-Ross to expand the number of Health Technologies programs from its current total of 11. The Veteran’s Administration building is 14,000 square feet, while Mound Street is 23,000 square feet. Mound Street Elementary was opened in 1956. “We not only have an opportunity to grow our programs, we will also have a physical presence in Circleville to offer programs tailored to the needs of its residents,” said Fife. “This is an exciting move.” Current Health Technology programs offered by Pickaway-Ross include: Patient Care Technician, Practical Nursing Education, Medical Assisting, Medical Billing Specialist, Nurse’s Aide, Phlebotomy, Medical Terminology for the Healthcare Provider, Medical Transcription, Coding Procedures, Medication Aide, and Pharmacy Technician. Additional programs scheduled to be launched this fall include EKG Technician and Massage Therapist, she said. “The Mound Street Elementary building allows us to do things we’ve only thought about in the past by adding new programming,” said Fife. In addition to the Mound Street building, Pickaway-Ross will also offer evening Health Technology programs at its main campus to accommodate the needs of Ross County residents who may not be able to travel to Circleville. The building will also house the Health Information Technologies (HIM-Tech) program offered to high school students in Pickaway County. Additionally, WorkKeys® testing will be offered at the site, and PRCTC is looking to use the current gymnasium to hold exercises for some of its Public Safety Services programs.
