There are pastries and beef jerky and steaks for sale in a small store. There are a bank and a beauty salon and a day care center on the campus. There's a popular misconception that the center is a dumping ground for unmotivated, unintelligent or trouble making kids. The truth is usually far from that. Kids find a field that interests them and we provide highly motivated training to take them where they want to go.
Vocational education is the wave of the future.
I think our school is a tremendous asset for Wayne County. Mike Schenk photo Staggs walks through the halls and greets student after student by name. They joke and greet him in return as they make their way to different parts of the building. I taught for a long time but as principal you get to know more of the students and have more of a chance to help out a greater number of them. The career center offers kids a choice in their education.
