Ashlie Webster-
Kenny Hopkins, a senior at Whiteoak High School, has begun earning technical certifications prior to graduating.

During his junior year at Whiteoak, Hopkins earned a Web Design credential from Shawnee State University in partnership with GRIT Ohio. This past summer, he earned a COMP TIA and Cyber Security credential through the Bear Tracks program at Shawnee State University sponsored by GRIT Ohio.

As a result of earning these certifications, Hopkins has been asked to participate during his senior year in work experience at Whiteoak High School with their IT department. This opportunity is in partnership with GRIT Ohio and Highland County’s OhioMeansJobs.

His accomplishments were recently celebrated by faculty and staff from Whiteoak, along with representatives from Shawnee State University and GRIT Ohio.
