Emerald Coast Technical College -

Students, we will have a food truck on campus next week!
Tuesday, Aug 26th from 11:00 to 1:30

ECTC's Practical Nursing students actively engage in a hands-on learning activity—shaving balloons—to practice and enhance their personal care skills. This creative exercise simulates the delicate process of shaving patients safely, which is an essential component of personal hygiene in healthcare settings.

By using balloons, students must apply just the right amount of pressure and maintain steady hand coordination to avoid "popping" the balloon—mirroring the caution needed when shaving a real person to prevent cuts or irritation. The exercise also emphasizes the importance of patient comfort, safety, and attention to detail.

This fun yet challenging practice allows future nurses to build confidence in their technique while reinforcing their understanding of proper patient care procedures. It’s a wonderful example of how practical, engaging experiences prepare students for real-world clinical responsibilities.

The future looks bright for these ECTC students! Great 1st day!

Rowing for the Goal: ECTC's Path of Purpose and Progress

Along with all of Walton County's schools, some of our staff participated in Manufacturing Day today. We took the opportunity to reflect on our performance from the previous school year as we eagerly anticipate the upcoming year and formulate plans to enhance and better serve our students and community. ECTC accomplished great things in many areas, proving that everyone involved in the district's concept of "rowing for the goal" and "doing our part" meant business. Among the many "diamonds" that were shared today were ECTC's increase of certifications by 53%, an increase enrollment by 20%, and dual enrollment increased by 58% for the 2024-25 school year! We are so proud of everyone that helped in achieving these goals and we look forward to improving even more next school year!
