This is the official X account for the Dobyns-Bennett High School (@KCS_DBHS) Transition School-to-Work Program, which is part of Kingsport City Schools.
Here’s a quick look at our semester so far. From WBL placements to TCAT tours…our TSW students have been BUSY learning all sorts of Pre-Employment Transition Skills. Super proud of our students and all the skills they’re learning! #WBLinTN#AllMeansAll
Special THANK YOU to Kingsport Area Transit Service for coming by and speaking to us yesterday! Our students learned about how to use their bus system, Dial-A-Ride and KATS Connect. Transportation is a critical part of reaching employment goals!

Three of our fantastic WBL students stop and pose for a quick picture during work today at another fan-favorite, TSW job site - @goldencorral in Kingsport!! Keep up the great work! #WBLinTN
We’ve been busy this semester in TSW and haven’t posted on here as much as we should! Let’s a look at what some of our worksites have been up to this semester:
First up- Our @bays_mountain crew has been busy building bat boxes with Mr. Wes to place around the park!
#WBLinTN
Our @GoodwillIntl Greenacres group stops to pose for a photo! At Goodwill our students assist with a variety of jobs including sorting, hanging, separating and more! Ms. Michelle and her staff at Goodwill are very helpful and we appreciate all they do for our students!
#WBLinTN
Our students LOVE working at @FoodCity! We appreciate all the FC staff that welcome our students each day at both the Eastman & Clinchfield locations in Kingsport.
Here’s a great photo of one of our TSW students assisting a customer at the Eastman Road store.

Congratulations to Daniel & Cody on recently being hired on as part time employees in dish/utility at Holston Valley Med Center! Special thank you to @BalladHealth & @CompassOneHC for seeing our students’ potential!
#WBLinTN
Next, let’s take a look at Indian Path Community Hospital. @Ballad & @CompassOneHC have been fantastic industry partners. Here we have some students helping with food prep.
Keith is giving a thumbs up as he was recently hired on as a part time employee! Way to go!

A TSW fav - @texasroadhouse !!! Kelsea, Josh and Keith are working around the store before opening. Our group took a short break to snag a pic with Mr. Batts and Ms. Whitney.
We often wonder if it’s the work or the unlimited rolls that make this site a favorite!
#WBLinTN
Our TSW students are getting to help with all sorts of projects at @bays_mountain this semester. Recently, Josh and Jakob helped fix a flat, repair some benches and replace a trail sign!

Yesterday, we hosted our regional NETN TSW meeting here at Dobyns-Bennett. We asked our Culinary Arts class to cater the meeting and they ABSOLUTELY rocked it!
Special thanks to Shona House and her students for the wonderful meal! #WBLinTN
