Recently two of our Teaching Careers students spent the day in our Licking Heights Middle School classes teaching some lessons. These two ladies did a fantastic job, and we were impressed with their preparation, confidence, communication, lesson delivery, professionalism, and how engaged students were in the activities.

Awesome to have Intel’s Oho leadership team here recently, and it was great to hear from them that the students are the best part! The young man in the photo got unexpectedly pulled from class and was asked to give a couple minute presentation on the spot about his program to Intel leaders and a US Congressman. He delivered with zero nerves and minutes later the Intel OH HR lead was handing him his card! Proud!

Always climbing.
Always looking up.

Thank you to the Newark PD for allowing some of our Criminal Justice cadets to assist at the Cops and Kids-Shop with a Cop event held at the Newark Walmart this year. Cadets were able to assist local elementary students with their holiday shopping needs. We appreciate the chance for our students to help with this event!
A great lesson for the season!
