Eighth Grade To Tour Pioneer by Mr. Vipperman

     On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, eighth graders will be visiting Pioneer Career and Technology Center located in Shelby, Ohio.  The purpose of this visitation is to make students aware of their options as they begin to think about high school, career options and beyond.  During your child's middle school experience, she/she will have the opportunity to work on a career interest assessment.  This is a tool that identifies a student's area of interest and relates that interest to a variety of occupations. As a part of this assessment, we look at preparing for a specific occupation that relates to your child's interest.  There are many times when vocational training is a part of high school preparation.  It is also a pathway for high school 11th and 12th grade students for graduation.  Additionally, students who wish to pursue a college degree may earn college credit, through an approved program, towards that degree while taking Tech Prep classes at PCTC their junior and senior year in high school.
    Students will depart Willard Middle School at 8:30 a.m. and return by 11:30 a.m.  Students will spend about an hour and a half touring the building, talking with teachers and students and seeing the variety of programs offered at PCTC.
