The goal is to provide students with real-world experience in various industries and allow them to learn about different professions before investing in college or trade school tuition.\n\n\n\nAmanda Gulley is an accomplished educator with a degree in Vocational Home Economics/Education from Tarleton State University and a Master's degree\, along with Principal certification\, from Lamar University.
