Lion of the Day Neesha Herring welcomed guest speaker Ryan Dunn, curriculum director at Green Country Technology Center, at the Dec. 19 meeting. Dunn shared updates on the school’s growing impact across the region. He began his role at GCTC in July 2025 following careers in law enforcement and the military, noting that the technology center currently serves about 35 percent of area high school students while also offering adult education classes. He highlighted recent campus upgrades, plans to add an electrical program in 2027 and student projects that have supported community events in Henryetta and Okmulgee. Dunn also praised GCTC students for exceeding expectations in a recent canned food drive, doubling their original donation goal.
