Delaware Area Career Center

When students enter 9th grade, many are excited about the different choices and opportunities available in high school. Unfortunately, the reality is that the first two years of high school really don't have all that many choices academically. There is a great deal of flexibility though as students reach their junior and senior years. One of those options includes the possibility of attending the Delaware Area Career Center.

Today during Science classes, all sophomores listened to a presentation about the Delaware Area Career Center (DACC) and the programs that they have available for students. This is a great opportunity to earn your elective credits in an area that interests you rather than being forced to pick classes that you are selecting simply because they will fill up your schedule. One of my students, Rachel Berg, did a great job as one of the student ambassadors who spoke during a few of the presentions.

It was interesting to hear about all of the different programs that are available for students to explore. There are some unique experiences and opportunities available that can really stand out to colleges. In particular, the students I have worked with in the past who participated in Teacher Academy and in Zoo School were stand-outs to the colleges!

Sophomores – if you are interested in participating in the field trip to the DACC, please be sure to stop into the Counseling and Career Center to pick up a permission slip. After signed by your parents please return it to Mrs. Windisch in the Counseling and Career Center. She will also give you a teacher permission slip that must be completed before you can attend. The field trip is Monday, November 21st. All permission slips must be returned by October 31st so that the career center can prepare for your visits.
