## Resource

Marion County Schools and Bevill State are teaming up to build a cutting-edge Rural Career Tech Center on campus, funded by a $12.5 million state grant—plus land donation—to give students hands-on career training, college credits, and real-world skills right where they live. Already serving 400+ students across five high schools with six programs and $500K in scholarships earned this semester, the academy launches in 2026-27 and could expand to even more offerings as space grows. With total investment hitting $18.5M including renovations, leaders call it a game-changing boost for local workforce development.
