Five Laker Teachers Graduate from Chamber of Commerce LIFT

Five Calloway County teachers were recently recognized as graduates of the Leadership Initiative for Teachers from Murray Works and the Murray-Calloway County Chamber of Commerce.

Ten teachers total, five from Calloway and five from Murray, spent time this fall in the initiative to help bridge the gap between education and workforce through experiential learning. The teachers met with local leaders in business, non-profits, and government and explored numerous sites in the community. These teachers can now communicate to their students what resources and opportunities there are for them in the community.
