On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Midland Trail High School was proudly recognized during the Fayette County Board of Education planning meeting for its outstanding partnership with the New River Convention and Visitors Bureau. The formal recognition took place at 10:00 a.m., highlighting the collaborative efforts that continue to expand real-world learning opportunities for students.
The recognition was presented by Robert Crawford and Lynne Bostic of the Education Alliance. Both representatives commended Midland Trail High School and the New River CVB for their shared commitment to connecting classroom learning with authentic, community-based experiences.
The partnership with the New River CVB exemplifies Midland Trail’s focus on providing students with meaningful, hands-on opportunities tied to local industry and community resources. By working alongside a regional leader in tourism and economic development, students gain insight into career pathways, develop real-world skills, and engage in learning that extends beyond traditional classroom settings.
Following the Board of Education recognition, plans were made for continued collaboration and celebration. Representatives expressed interest in visiting the school or partner site for additional photographs, informal interviews, and a potential student-led demonstration or overview to further highlight the impact of the partnership.
Midland Trail High School extends its appreciation to the New River CVB, the Education Alliance, and Fayette County Schools for their continued support. This recognition reinforces the value of strong partnerships in creating engaging, relevant learning experiences that prepare students for success in their future endeavors.
