After beginning his career at James Rumsey Technical Institute in 2009, Mr. Kevin Price is retiring following years of dedicated service as the Diesel Instructor for high school students. Throughout his time at JRTI, Mr. Price has gone above and beyond for both his program and the school as a whole.

Recognized as Teacher of the Year for the 2023–2024 school year, Mr. Price consistently worked to create opportunities for his students and was always present to support school events and activities.

His dedication, leadership, and caring heart have left a lasting impact on students and staff alike, and he will be greatly missed. Congratulations on your retirement! 🎉

In our Firefighting classroom, students finished out the school year demonstrating how they can tie secure knots in less-than-ideal situations. Whether vision is obstructed, both hands are unavailable, or any other real-world situation happens during a fire, our students will be prepared to save lives. This is education that trains these special individuals to run into situations where every second counts 💪

Throughout his career, he has made a lasting impact not only through the skills and knowledge he shared with students, but through his generosity, compassion, and willingness to help others.

He and his students also provided tremendous support to the Horses With Hearts program through various projects and acts of service.

His kindness, leadership, and servant heart will be greatly missed, and we wish him all the best in his retirement! Congratulations Mr. Lantz! 🎉
