Ozark High School

Community partnerships + student success Today, our Career Coach, Mrs. Dean, had the opportunity to visit with a community partner, Arkansas Tech University - Ozark Campus (ATUOC). She had the opportunity to visit the newly renovated Industrial Control Systems Building and meet Stacey McCollough, program chair, and Cody Harkness, instructor. Automation technology leads to in-demand careers as controls, electronics, instrumentation, and maintenance technicians. The field is so in demand that tuition and fees for associate degrees in automation at ATUOC are FREE for qualifying students through the Arkansas Future Grant.
