A new addition to the PIE Innovation Center celebrates the spirit of innovation and community partnership. WACKER Chemical Corporation has gifted a bust of its founder, Alexander Wacker, to be permanently displayed in the WACKER Commons at the PIE Innovation Center in Cleveland, Tennessee.
Originally displayed at WACKER’s global headquarters, the sculpture now serves as a symbol of the strong connection between the company’s international legacy and its commitment to education and workforce development in Bradley County.
The base of the bust was designed and built by local WACKER Charleston team members, making the installation a true collaboration between global innovation and local craftsmanship.
This meaningful addition highlights the ongoing partnership between WACKER and Bradley County Schools, inspiring students to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and manufacturing.

Throughout the week of November 3–7, 2025, Bradley County Schools will join thousands of other communities in celebrating National School Psychology Week (NSPW), with the theme “Finding Your Path.”
This year’s theme, “Finding Your Path,” recognizes the ways that school psychologists take an active role in helping everyone in their communities determine paths to learning, growth, and overall well-being that meet their unique needs. Through their deep expertise and training in consultation, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, school psychologists empower others to set their destination and find a route that fits their needs, all while sharing tools to help them thrive along the way.
