A new partnership between Batesville High School Charter (BHSC) and the Intimidator Group, described as the Engineering Pathway, will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.
According to the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC), the partnership will be open to 9th-12th grade students beginning in the 2023/2024 school year.
In a media release, the BACC said the Engineering Pathway is designed to expose students to engineering careers with hands-on learning opportunities.
