STUDENT DISCOUNT ALERT!

Thank you to McKay Service Center in Pulaski for providing a very special offer to help our students:

"On behalf of McKay Service Center, we wish you the best of luck in your future career! As a thank you for taking the initiative to advance your career opportunities by attending TCAT & utilizing TCAT's Automotive Technology program, we would like to offer you a TCAT STUDENT ONLY discount on TIRES purchased through our locally owned business at 435 N. 1st Street.

Your price=Our Cost+$15+Sales Tax - cash or check is recommended to avoid a card processing fee.

This McKay TCAT Student Discount Offer is only valid if your personal vehicle is inspected by TCAT Automotive and deemed it needs tires for safe travel with installation services performed by TCAT's Automotive class. Please have your TCAT student badge and your TCAT Automotive work order listing vehicle tire size & quantity needed. Please feel free to come by or give us a call if we can ever be of assistance!

McKay Service Center is Giles County's Oldest Tire Dealer, which has been independently, locally owned since 1950. This business has seen numerous technological advancements during our 76-year time frame, not only in the automotive industry but all business trades, and at the same time seen a dramatic decline in skilled trade laborers. So, when it was announced that TCAT would be adding additional programs to the curriculum focusing on specialty skilled careers, especially the automotive program, we were ecstatic about the endless possibilities this will open for the future workforce.

Success belongs to the consistent. Not the luckiest or most talented - the ones who show up, work hard, and keep going will succeed! Effort matters! Proverbs 16:3 - Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."

Thank you so much McKay Service Center! This is a great opportunity, and we appreciate you supporting our mission!

It’s been 7 years since we painted our bay doors and panels, so it’s time for a refresh. Here's an image of what the final result will look like. Painting started today and will continue off and on for the next 2-3 weeks.

✨ Meet TCAT Pulaski’s Newest Cosmetology Instructor — Sydney Hallmark Smith:

"Hey y’all! I’m Sydney, and I feel incredibly blessed to be joining the TCAT Pulaski family as its newest Cosmetology Instructor!

I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for 6 years and a makeup artist for 13 years, but teaching has truly become one of the greatest joys of my career. I have a heart for helping students grow in their skills, build confidence, and prepare for successful careers in the beauty industry. One of my favorite parts of teaching is building meaningful relationships with my students and being involved in SkillsUSA. This past year, I was incredibly honored to be named Tennessee SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year at the State Leadership Conference!

Outside of the classroom, you can usually find me spending time with my wonderful husband, Hunter, our sweet pups, Honey and Huck, our family and friends—or somewhere fishing enjoying my favorite pastime!

I’m so thankful for the experiences and opportunities that have led me here. God has blessed me beyond what I could have imagined, and I’m so excited for this new chapter at TCAT Pulaski! I can’t wait to meet my students, pour into them, and see all that this year has in store!" ✨
