Congrats to this young man and kudos to the CTE program at Parkside!
Thanks Joe!! Nice to hear report on kids that are doing positive things and not the garbage James M Bennett filled the news with all last year
Yes need to hear more success stories like this! Congratulations to this fine young gentleman! We need more people interested in learning a skill. Not everyone is cut out to go to college. Follow your passion not what someone tells you you should do. Have to have money but must be happy in your career for you will be spending many hours on a job so make sure you love what your doing!
and I am wondering how much student debt he's incurred while obtaining this certification?
Joe, You need to learn more about Eddie. He comes from good Eastern Shore stock and has overcome much sadness in his young life.
Great NEWS! Thank you and congratulations to Mr. Merritt.

Great Job Eddie! My son also benefited from vocational training in Worcester County and has been extremely successful as an elevator mechanic. The trades are suffering the loss of highly trained and driven people. This article just made my day!!!
