The Central Lee School District is proud of the four High School students that showcased their experiences in the Career and College Readiness Program at the State Capitol. They interacted with numerous legislators, school administrators, and school board members from across the state. Each one of them have tremendous stories to tell about their journey to their future career.
Landan Lowenberg and Riley Stuecker have participated in the Building Trades program all four years of high school. It has culminated with Carpentry 4 and the ground up construction of the house in Franklin. The skills they have learned in that program will be applied to their future careers and experiences.
Millie Larson shared her personal experiences of her path to become a nurse. As a part of the Career and College readiness program, she has become certified CNA, completed a job shadow in the nursing field, is currently working at a local nursing home through the Work-Based Learning program, and is on track to get her associates degree before graduating high school.
MaKayla Howard has explored several careers in her journey to a career. As a junior, she participated in a job shadow as an elementary teacher. She was uncertain that was the path she wanted to take so she started working at a nursing home her senior year first semester. Through the Work-Based Learning program, she is working as an associate in the elementary. With the experience that the school created, she has found a passion for education.
These are just four examples of the opportunities students are experiencing at Central Lee through Career and College Readiness. #CTEworksforCL #Proud2bCL
