Lincolnland Technical Education Center October Student of the Month: Ayden Gesner-Parke

[October 30, 2026] 

Lincolnland Technical Education Center (LTEC) is proud to recognize Ayden Gesner-Parke, a senior at Lincoln Community High School (LCHS), as the LTEC October Student of the Month. Ayden is the son of Candi Gesner.

Currently enrolled in LTEC’s Advanced Metals II program, Ayden has demonstrated dedication, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude in the classroom. His interest in welding and desire to develop practical skills have motivated him to take advantage of the hands-on learning opportunities available at LTEC.

“I took this class because LTEC is giving me the opportunity to learn some skills I will need for my career,” he shared.

His instructor, Mr. Akers, nominated him for the recognition because of his dependability, respectful attitude, and willingness to go above and beyond in the classroom.

“He continues to be punctual, polite, and courteous to others. He does what is asked of him and usually goes above and beyond when something is needed in the lab. He is a pleasure to have in class!” said Mr. Akers.

One of the things Ayden appreciates most about LTEC is the support and guidance he receives from his instructors.

“I like how the teachers will help you or show you how to do something that you don't understand,” he explained.

After graduation, Ayden plans to pursue a career in welding, putting the technical skills and experience he has gained at LTEC to work in the skilled trades industry.

Outside of school, he works at Cracker Barrel and enjoys spending time with friends.

LTEC congratulates Ayden on being selected as the October Student of the Month and looks forward to seeing his continued success as he prepares for a future in welding.

The Rotary Club of Lincoln sponsors LTEC’s Student of the Month program and presents each recipient with a $50 award in recognition of their achievements.
