For five decades, the Meade County College and Career Center has stood as a place where students gain skills, discover purpose, and prepare for life beyond high school.
The newest episode in the Greenwave Stories series, Be About the People, reflects on the history and impact of this facility through the voices of those who helped shape it. From longtime educators to current leaders and community partners, this story highlights how the center has grown and evolved while remaining focused on what matters most: students and people.
While buildings may begin with blueprints, the true story of the College and Career Center has always been written by the educators, leaders, and students who walked its halls. Over the past fifty years, this center has demonstrated the power of public education to impact generations of students while helping strengthen the fabric of the Meade County community.
Featured in this episode are Megan Stith, Faye Campbell, Darren Jones, Leon Pike, Dr. Juston Pate, Nick Sutherland, and Dr. Mark Martin, each offering a unique perspective on the lasting impact of this center.
As the facility celebrates five decades of service, Be About the People reminds us that the greatest legacy of public education is not a building itself, but the lives and communities shaped because of it.
