On December 11, the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) Northwest Adult Education Program proudly celebrated the achievements of thirty adult students during the TCAT Northwest graduation ceremony. The event took place in the Ripley High School gymnasium, where graduates were honored for their hard work and dedication to completing their educational goals.
