Where will your journey lead you?

A Message from our Director!

Welcome to a new school year! Its hard to believe that the summer is coming to a close already! As I ponder about the future, and where it may lead, I ran across some wonderful quotes by Dr. Shad Helmstetter in his book called Choices: Those who choose to succeed always do better than those who never choose at all. If youd like to know what your choices have been, look at yourself and the life you have lived. What you see is the choices youve made. So, where will the choices you make - your journey lead you? Perhaps its time to begin a career, make a career switch, or brush up on skills to take you to another level in your work. Browse through this brochure and you will find a number of courses to guide you on your way. Our vocational classes are led by instructors who are dedicated to helping each student find success in their journey. Our in-house computer classes provide the students with the opportunity to learn the concepts behind a computer (not just a lecture!). Online classes are also available so you can learn in the comfort and convenience of your own home, within your own schedule. If you dont see what you are looking for, please contact our office at the phone number shown at the bottom of every page. Our staff is always ready and helpful to answer any questions or offer suggestions.
