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

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. 
If you are interested in participating in the field trip to the DACC, please be sure to return your permission slip to the counseling center right away.  (They ideally want your permission slips by Friday, but at the very least it must be back no later than November 8th.)  The field trip is scheduled for Friday, November 22nd.
