ECTC offers sustainable, outdoor charging

ECTC students can now plug into renewable energy to charge their devices outdoors on the Elizabethtown campus.

Student sets sights on early childhood education

Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (IECE) student Hailie Cannon is well on her way to a career enriching the lives of young children. She has always wanted to work with kids in some capacity but went through some discovery after graduating from Pleasure Ridge Park High School to find the right path, she said. 

Alumni living his dream as math teacher

Ryan Ramsey graduated from ECTC in 2013 and stayed on campus to finish his bachelor’s degree from Western Kentucky University in 2015. Ryan started his career in education as a math interventionist at LaRue County Middle School and in 2020, he went on to work for Bluegrass Middle School as a math teacher. Ryan enjoys living out his dream as a math teacher and being a positive role model for his students.

“ECTC is a great place to further your education and I took advantage of the affordability of their courses. The environment there for the four years I attended was amazing and the professors/staff were always willing to help their students.”
