The program will allow students to get transferable skills for a variety of manufacturing plants in our local area. Students will be able to be employable right out of high school and/or have the foundation skills they need to go get a post secondary certificate or degree.”
-Dr. Charlotte Leon, Director of CTE, Marshall ISD
Marshall Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has awarded Marshall Independent School District $270,000 to support the launch of a new dual-enrollment manufacturing and technology pathway in partnership with Texas State Technical College–Marshall Beginning with ninth- and tenthgrade students, the program will introduce participants to foundational manufacturing and engineering concepts while creating a clear pathway to advanced dual-credit opportunities at TSTC–Marshall in later years. This initiative represents the first two years of a comprehensive four-year program designed to prepare students for highdemand careers in manufacturing and technology
The funding is made possible through the High Demand Job Training (HDJT) grant, a competitive program awarded by the Texas Workforce Commission and administered by Workforce Solutions East Texas. Under the grant structure, the state provides a matching contribution of up to $150,000, while MEDC’s investment totals $264,879 In accordance with the memorandum of understanding between MEDC and Workforce Solutions East Texas, the funding will be used to purchase curriculum, equipment, and instructional supplies necessary to establish the new program of study at Marshall High School and TSTC–Marshall.
MEDC Executive Director Rush Harris formally presented the check during a recent ceremony attended by Marshall ISD administrators and Career and Technical Education Director Dr. Charlotte Leon. Harris emphasized the importance of investing in local students and ensuring that educational opportunities align with the workforce needs of the region He noted that the HDJT program is specifically designed to encourage collaboration among workforce development boards, economic development corporations, and school districts to expand access to in-demand occupational training.
The pursuit of the grant was encouraged by the local Workforce and Educational Alignment Group, known as the We Align Council Composed of representatives from business, education, workforce, and industry sectors, the council works to strengthen connections between educators and employers to ensure students are prepared for local career opportunities. Harris credited the council with recommending that the manufacturing and technology pathway begin at the ninth- and tenthgrade levels, allowing students to explore these fields earlier and build a stronger foundation for future training
Harris also expressed appreciation to the Texas Workforce Commission, Workforce Solutions East Texas, and the Marshall City Council for their partnership and support He specifically thanked the City of Marshall for approving the use of MEDC funds, calling the investment a forward-thinking commitment to the community’s future workforce Through this collaborative effort, MEDC, Marshall ISD, and their partners are taking a significant step toward strengthening the local talent pipeline and supporting long-term economic growth in Marshall.
WEAlign:AdvancingWorkforce ReadinessThroughCollaboration
In 2025, Marshall Economic Development Corporation deepened its commitment to workforce readiness by expanding engagement, strengthening partnerships, and formalizing a shared vision for education-to-career alignment. Throughout the year, MEDC convened community conversations featuring guest speakers focused on workforce solutions, including apprenticeship and work- based learning models that connect students directly to real-world careers. MEDC also partnered with Marshall ISD to host a successful Principal for a Day program, providing local leaders with firsthand insight into the opportunities and challenges facing today’s classrooms.
A major milestone this year was the formal adoption of Council bylaws and the articulation of clear goals and objectives to guide future action. While WE Align was originally launched by Marshall Economic Development Corporation in 2021 to better connect employers and educators. Last year marked a transition from concept to structure, further laying a foundation for sustained, measurable impact.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH 2024-2025
In 2025 Marshall ISD, Prysmian Group, the Marshall News Messenger, and Marshall Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) continued to sponsor and promote the Career & Technical Education (CTE) Student of the Month program. This initiative recognizes outstanding high school students excelling in CTE programs, celebrating both their academic achievement and their dedication to building valuable career skills. Each month of the school year, one student, who was nominated by their teacher, is selected as the CTE Student of the Month. Honorees receive a feature article in the Marshall News Messenger, a $250 Visa gift card, and a certificate of recognition. 9 outstanding students were recognized in 2025.
At the start of the 2025-2026 school year, the program introduces a new tradition: a large “traveling trophy” that is awarded to the classroom of the CTE program the winning student represents. The trophy remains in that classroom until the next winner is announced, allowing entire programs to share in the celebration and take pride in their students’ success. “We’re excited to add this traveling trophy as a way to showcase the amazing work happening across all of our CTE programs,” said Heather Hill, Administrative Coordinator of Marshall Economic Development Corporation. “It gives students and teachers alike a sense of ownership and recognition that extends beyond the individual.”
The CTE Student of the Month program began in 2023 as a partnership between Marshall ISD, Marshall Economic Development Corporation, the Marshall News Messenger, and Prysmian, the program’s title sponsor and a longtime supporter of workforce and education initiatives in the region. Since its launch, the program has spotlighted students from diverse CTE pathways, such as health science, welding, AV production, education, culinary arts, and more. By celebrating these students and sharing their stories, the program helps raise awareness about the value of Career & Technology Education in preparing a skilled and adaptable workforce for Marshall’s future.
