# Ja'len Smith of Anniston High School
We are thrilled to recognize Ja'len Smith, a senior at Anniston High School, as our TCI Career Tech Student of the Month!
Ja'len exemplifies excellence and determination both in and out of the classroom. A three-year student in the Culinary Arts program, he has also excelled in Electrical and Manufacturing studies. As an Anniston High School Ambassador, Ja'len proudly represents his school and community with leadership and dedication.
Outside of school, Ja'len enjoys staying active through basketball, football, and baseball. He also devotes time to working and helping others, embodying the spirit of service and teamwork.
Looking to the future, Ja'len plans to pursue a career in Electrical Technology. He will attend Gadsden State Community College to become an electrical engineer, with the ultimate goal of retiring as a hydro journeyman.
Ja'len's commitment to personal growth, his community, and his future career is truly inspiring. Congratulations, Ja'len, on this well-deserved recognition as our Student of the Month!
TCI desires to support and encourage high school seniors who plan to pursue an associate degree or a certification in a trade/vocational field. With this in mind, we will be offering two scholarships to be awarded in May of each school year. In honor of TCI's Founder, the Kenneth Bice Vocational Scholarship will be awarded to well deserving students.
Each month a senior student enrolled in their local high school vocational/trade program will be selected to be recognized as the TCI Student of the Month. At the end of the school year, two students will be selected to receive a scholarship to apply to their educational cost as they further their education in their chosen field.
