ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Twenty high school seniors received their certificates denoting completion of the High School Pathways program at Anniston Army Depot during a May 15 ceremony.
The students were reminded to continue making good choices to ensure their future remains bright by various speakers at the event, including the installation's commander, Col. Martine Kidd.
"Every day, work hard to be part of the solution," she told the students as she admonished them to believe in themselves, think positive and dream big.
"You have acquired the skills for a bright and rewarding future at
Anniston Army Depot," said Tommy Carlisle, the depot's deputy director of Production.
The students now have to make a choice - continue to the second phase of the Pathways internship in hopes of one day securing a permanent position at ANAD or taking another educational or career path.
One student, Kali Atkisson, who will graduate seventh in her class at Pleasant Valley High School, told the crowd at the ceremony she plans to continue with Pathways - attending Gadsden State Community College for its technical education program.
