"It is very exciting for us to receive our seventh Gold Star award," said Dr. Doug Major, PTC Superintendent.
"With the high standards that are required to obtain this type of recognition, it is comforting to know that PTC is doing the right things. It is truly reassuring to see the solid commitment PTC continues to make to our students, clients, and community."
