The opening for a new vocational school, Ralston Technical College, is being discussed amongst the community. While some want a trade school closer to the island rather than going out for their education, others see a lack of the need for one. Yet, with Ralston Technical College, or RTC, many different skills from welding to cosmetology can be taught and learned to many people alike. It can bring the people from Ralston and people outside the island together. It can also bring a sense of togetherness and build a culture specific for RTC students to gather and meet others with similar aspirations and interests. Others say that with the small number of Ralston students and others looking for trade schools within the area, the need for a vocational school within the area is pointless. Together, some community members are creating a petition to garner interest for the project and hopefully in the near future, we will teach the new generations helpful trades that will aid both Ralston but other communities in the future.
