Upon arrival, the students were welcomed by Michael McMillan, who handed out NTU swag bags filled with informational materials and school supplies. Following his welcome, Coach Perry and Lee presented on the athletic programs, offering insight into student-athlete life at NTU. Afterward, the students were divided into three smaller groups and guided on a campus tour led by Michael McMillan, Kory Begay, and Mallorie McKerry.
Students visited various academic programs, including the trades program, and observed first-day class sessions throughout the tour. A standout moment was their visit to the fabrication lab, where staff members gave an in-depth tour of the facility and its state-of-the-art equipment. This experience provided valuable insight into different career pathways and the steps students can take to prepare for their futures after graduation.
“In essence, NTU provides a strong local pathway for Thoreau students to gain valuable skills, explore careers, and build community, aligning education with cultural values for future success,” explained Ms. Gordon, Vocational Instructor at Thoreau Mid.
Those interested in arranging a campus tour for their students should contact Michael McMillan, who will gladly assist.
