Blue River Career Programs has a new director in place for the retiring Steve Shaw.

The Board of Governors of Blue River Career Programs is pleased to announce the hiring of Jeremy Powers as its next director.   

Powers has been in school administration for many years.  He spent time as a high school principal in Morristown and is currently a principal at Benjamin Rush Middle School in Rushville. A release from the Board of Governors states that Powers brings a love for kids, respect for faculty and staff, and an infectious desire to help grow and expand BRCP in the ever changing K-12 career and technical education (CTE) landscape. 

Powers succeeds Shaw who is retiring in June. Shaw was named CTE Director of the Year in June 2023.

Blue River Career Programs provides CTE education to the four Shelby County public school corporations. It operates under an interlocal agreement, one of only five career centers in Indiana to do so. Powers takes over as BRCP is poised for the future.
