We are thankful for community partners who support our students through their educational journeys. The Table Rock Career Center has a great partnership with Branson Bank, which recently awarded the technical and career school a $20,000 grant.
“At Branson Bank, we believe one of the greatest investments we can make is in the future of the communities we serve,” said Branson Bank President Eric Simkins. “That's why we were proud to partner with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines' Member Impact Fund. By leveraging this matching grant opportunity, we were able to make an even greater impact for local students.”
Table Rock Career Center serves students from school districts throughout Stone and Taney Counties, the same communities Branson Bank serves. The career center equips students with valuable technical skills, certifications, and hands-on training that prepare them for successful careers, whether they enter the workforce immediately after graduation or continue their education.
Dr. Cody Hirschi, superintendent of Reeds Spring Schools, was overwhelmed when he learned about the grant.
“This investment will create valuable opportunities for our students and strengthen the hands-on, real-world learning experiences we can provide. We are excited about the impact these funds will have. We truly are blessed to have such a wonderful community that cares about investing in our students!”
TRCC Director Brian Moler added, “We are so grateful for Branson Bank's generosity. These funds will be beneficial for our students from across Stone and Taney Counties, who will soon be a vital part of our area's workforce and productive citizens.”
