The expansion of the career and technical programs coordinated through the Reeds Spring School District reaches another milestone.

The full release below is from the Reeds Spring School District:

More than 400 students from 11 school districts can now access cutting-edge, career-focused education at the new Table Rock Career Center. This facility replaces Gibson Technical Center, which operated in Reeds Spring for 50 years.

“This facility will serve as a launching pad for dreams, equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in the modern workforce,” said Reeds Spring Superintendent Dr. Cody Hirschi.

The Reeds Spring School District celebrated this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and public Open House on Wednesday. The state-of-the-art center offers 12 career and technical education programs, equipping students with industry certifications and workforce readiness upon graduation.

During the event, the district honored Missouri Commissioner of Education Dr. Karla Eslinger for her instrumental role in securing additional funding for the project. Special recognition was also given to Omar Gibson, the former Reeds Spring superintendent who established the district’s technical education program. The new lecture hall at the center bears his name in tribute to his legacy.

This innovative facility represents a major step forward in preparing students for successful careers and fostering workforce development in the region.

“Let us remember that this is just the beginning,” Hirschi said. “Together, we are building brighter futures for our students and a stronger foundation for our community. Let’s celebrate this incredible milestone and look forward to the many successes that lie ahead!”
