College Tech Prep
North Carolina’s CTP initiative began almost 20 years ago through a group of visionary educational leaders from Richmond County. As educational reformers, they fought tirelessly to advance the understanding and acceptance of “Tech Prep” not only in North Carolina but also across our nation. They formed a solid foundation from which we have all benefited. The effort was led by three Richmond County leaders in education - Doug James, former superintendent of Richmond County Schools, Myrtle Stogner, former director of vocational education for Richmond County Schools, and the late Joe Grimsley, president of Richmond Community College. This section of the NC-NET website is dedicated to continuing their legacy through the provision of resources and information for college tech prep practitioners.
