  • Reno A. Palombit is a leader, educator, writer, and North Carolinian. Having benefited as a student himself, he believes deeply in the transformative power of career and technical education. Reno holds a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences Education from Johnson & Wales University and a Master of Science in Career and Technical Education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. Currently, Reno is the Director of Career and Technical Education for Johnston County Public Schools, which serves more than 37,000 students. Previously, Reno was a family and consumer sciences teacher; Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter adviser; family and consumer sciences education state administrator; and career development coordinator. He has served as a member of the LEADFCS Education Board of Directors, Chair of the FCCLA National Board of Directors, and President of the North Carolina Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. Family and consumer sciences college coursework sparked Reno's fascination for mental health. Through courses like human development; individual and family wellness; interpersonal relationships; perspectives on parenting, learning and behavior; and general psychology, he developed foundational concepts of mental health and well-being. Later, when faced with his own mental health challenges, he would know the field more intimately after seeking out the help of a clinical psychologist. Dr. Irvin D. Yalom said, "I believe there is no better way to learn about a psychotherapy approach than to enter into it as a patient." This experience, coupled with his family and consumer sciences training and research into labor market demand, led him to initiate North Carolina's first ever counseling and mental health services career pathway program of study.
