🧬🔬 Help us give a BIG CTEC welcome to Dr. Catherine Doss! 🎉 We’re so excited to have her joining the CTEC family as our new Biomedical Science teacher!

Dr. Doss brings an incredible background in science and education. She earned her PhD in Molecular Physiology and Biophysics from Vanderbilt University and completed her postdoctoral research at UAB’s Department of Nutrition. She has taught at both the high school and college levels and most recently served as a substitute teacher in Shelby County.

Dr. Doss lives in Montevallo with her husband, Shane, and their two children, RJ and Avery, who are a senior and freshman at Montevallo High School. 💙 You can find her cheering from the stands at a football game nearly every Friday night, supporting RJ as a percussionist in the marching band and Avery as a Majorette/dancer with the auxiliary! 🏈🥁💃

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Doss to CTEC and can’t wait to see all the exciting things she’ll bring to our Biomedical Science program! Welcome to the CTEC family, Dr. Doss! 🎉🧬💙

Join us in welcoming Mrs. Holli Lovrich, our new CTEC Counselor!
We're excited to have her on our team and can't wait for you to get to know her.
Find a quick "Hello!" from Mrs. Lovrich below:

Hi everyone! My name is Holli Lovrich, and I am so thrilled to be joining you all!

I’ve been in education for 34 years, most recently serving as a Career Tech Counselor with Enterprise City Schools, and I am genuinely excited to bring my experience to CTEC. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to three amazing kids—Camden and Cate are in their third year of PT school, and Allie is a junior at Auburn University. Life is wonderfully busy, and when I’m off the clock, you can usually find me outside, exercising, trying out a new recipe, or spending quality time with family.

I’m looking forward to diving in, getting to know everyone, and being a part of this amazing team!
