For the fifth consecutive year, Metallurg Vanadium Corporation (METVAN) has contributed to the enrichment of local school districts. Buckeye Trail, Cambridge, John Glenn and Meadowbrook high schools each received a check for $1,000 designated to support their respective math and science departments.

METVAN has a strong history of support for education locally.

"Through these donations, we're able to affirm our commitment to those academic disciplines that instill analytical, critical thinking and problem solving skills in students. These are important skills for our current and future employees to acquire as local companies like METVAN compete in a global marketplace," said METVAN President Hoy E. Frakes Jr.
