CONGRATULATIONS!
Casey Jacobs, a senior at Smithville High School is planning on
a career in the medical field as a Pharmacy Technician. Casey
says that his parents have taught him a lot about life and the
value of hard work. Casey’s mother, who is a Pharmacy
Technician at Smithville Pharmacy, has been his influence and
wants to follow in her footsteps. Casey is in his third year
working for Gary Bayer at Smithville Pharmacy and takes his job
seriously. When asked about his job responsibilities at the
pharmacy, the first item he lists is ‘customer service’. His work at
the pharmacy also consists of filing prescriptions, answering
questions about over-the-counter medications, making home
deliveries, inventory control and cleaning.
Congratulations to the Tiger
Band for earning all 1st division ratings at the UIL Marching
Contest in Giddings!
2013 Lady Tiger
Volleyball All-District
Honors: Valerie Harmon Defensive
MVP, Addison Willmon 1st Team, Cadie Jones 2nd
Team, and Courtney Brinker, Courtney Stinson,
Shawna Randall and Leslie Wilhelm earned
Honorable Mention.
As if school doesn’t provide enough opportunity for completing projects and testing, the
pharmacy requires that Casey completes required yearly training on topics including
Blood-borne pathogens, the HIPPA Law and Pharmacy Law to name a few. When it
comes to his high school classes, Casey is well aware of the importance of good study
habits, time management and taking care of his school work. He’s learned to efficiently
manage his time as he juggles school and work. Stewart Burns, who is Casey’s Career
Prep teacher at SHS, stated without hesitation that Casey’s strengths include that he is a
focused, dedicated and charismatic individual.
