Winterim 2025: College Visit Experience
The College Visit Experience allows Seniors, Juniors, and sophomores (with counselor approval) to use their Winterim semester to visit colleges, do college research, and reflect on their experience in the first two weeks of January. It's an awesome opportunity for those that have a tough time scheduling these visits throughout the semester. Come learn about this Winterim offering from Mr. B. Karsten on Thursday, Oct 10 during Focus Period.

Have you wondered what KCTC is all about?
KCTC (Kent Career Technical Center) has a number of pre-college programs that could help you sort out career path decisions during your last 2 years of high school.
Many programs also offer college credit from local colleges such as GVSU,
Ferris State, and GRCC, so they can be used as an option for dual enrollment.
Here are some of the many programs you could participate in:
Automotive Careers in collision repair and technology
Criminal Justice
Engineering and Mechatronics
Hospitality/Culinary Arts
Health Careers -Pharmacy Tech (some courses directly through GVSU)
Information Technologies
3D Animation and Game Design
And many more…
Come to the FT meeting in the Garage on Tuesday, October 15, to hear all the details about what KCTC has to offer. You will also be hearing from students who currently participate in a KCTC program.
See your counselor or Mrs. Crow in room 201 for more information.
