What Students Are Saying

The animals are great, the people are amazing, but the experiences and memories are unforgettable. —Zoey

Coming to the Career Center gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. —Autumn

This class isn’t just about getting dirty and animals. It is about the people and amazing experiences you make along the way. —Lexie

The Career Center has allowed me to learn skills I would not have been able to at my home school. —Maddy

After being educated about the Career Center and talking to others who had attended, I decided that I wanted to pursue nontraditional career training. I wanted to prove that a 4.0 student who plans on attending college for eight more years could benefit from the career center. This was the best decision I've made so far. The career center has benefited me substantially. It has provided me with knowledge, skills, experiences, and opportunities, but most importantly, it has helped prepare me for my career and gave me personal growth. —London
