The Bay City High School chapter of Workforce Industry Training (WIT) inducted 44 students into its ranks in a recent ceremony at BCHS.
WIT, a program conducted by the Nuclear Power Institute at Texas A&M University, is for high school students who are interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding of careers in STEM. Per the program’s website, “the purpose of WIT is to mentor, encourage, and prepare students for STEM-rich programs at universities, two-year technical colleges, and technician certificate programs.
By participating in WIT, students gain exposure to higher education and career opportunities through a series of field trips while building the confidence to consider further STEM education.
This confidence comes from the knowledge and familiarity students gain from their WIT experiences.”
The induction ceremony was officiated by the current WIT officers at BCHS, including President Savannah Fernandez, Vice-President Kevin Patel, Secretary Kaia Nunez, and Student Advisor Emilee Eidlebach.
Clayton Davis, a graduate of the BCHS Class of 2016, gave the keynote speech and discussed his journey through Texas A&M and his path that led him back to Bay City, where he works as a process engineer at OQ Chemicals.
Inductees were: Taniyah Abbot, Gabriela Aguilar, Diana Albiter, Ashley Bautista, Judah Breazeale, Giselle Cisneros, Natalie Cisneros, Joel Davalos, Leslie Davis, Abigail Dobbs, Destyni Flores, Ashlynn Flores, Abrial Galvez, Lizbeth Garcia, Liliana Garcia, Layna Gilbert, Aron Ging, Tomas Gonzales, Irene Govea, Hope Harmon, Taryn Harris, Jimena Isidoro, Kylah Jones, Kaelyn Kopecky, Litzy Lara, Milagros Luna, Amanda MacLennan, Blake MacLennan, David Mandujano, Ella Mata-Perez, Kamryn Medina, Morella Molina, Victor Morales, Raul Munoz, Daylin Nance, Blake Oros, Luis Perez, Romey Sanchez, Raul Ramirez, Alberto Reyes, Tanner Ryman, Ayden Smith, Iyanna Williams, and Mildred Zetina.
