CONWAY — Advanced manufacturing students in the MWV Career and Technical Center at Kennett High School have a reputation that is out of this world, and the Eagles, under the direction of teacher Andy Shaw, are regarded as a “valuable asset” by NASA.
Though unable to visit the Johnson Space Center in Houston to be recognized due to the pandemic, the Eagles were honored remotely by NASA officials June 8 during an hourlong ceremony beamed into the Loynd Auditorium at KHS. With family members on hand, Shaw’s students received accolades for completing another mission — handrail and stowage locker parts for the International Space Station.
