  • "From my experiences at US Probation and Pretrial Services, I realize how important it is for our young people to have positive, healthy activities to allow them to grow into adults who benefit their communities. When the school board asked me to join the CTC, I felt it was a great opportunity to help our youth."

    — Katie Merdanian, Retired from U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, Rapid City, SD, and Oelrichs School Board.

  • "It is vital that the schools in Fall River County are directly involved in this project. We work with our students in a variety of ways more than any other entity. The safety and security of our students is first and foremost in our assurance to parents. In addition to making sure that our students are safe, programs that give our students a vision of what they can become are important at this time in their lives. We are excited to work with the community to create this vision."

    — Dennis Fischer, Hot Springs Public Schools

  • "As a pediatrician, risk prevention and health promotion are what I am passionate about. Joining CTC was just the natural thing to do!"
