Mr. Conrad's Masonry students are hard at work on their new project!
Our Health Sciences students continue to experience learning that extends well beyond the walls of Walker Career Center thanks to our growing partnership with Infinity Eye Care and Dr. Mark Snyder.
Through this unique partnership, Dr. Snyder volunteers his time to provide students with in-person instruction at Walker Career Center focused on optometry, vision care, patient interaction, and the day-to-day operations of an eye care practice. Students then have the opportunity to take that learning into an authentic healthcare environment through externship experiences at Infinity Eye Care, located right here in Warren Township

In honor of August 29 over the weekend, we’re celebrating our FIRST Robotics Team 829 – The Digital Goats by recognizing one of their outstanding members as this week’s Walker Career Center Student of the Week!
Congratulations to Austin Williamson, who is beginning his second year with Team 829 and has already stepped into the important leadership role of Pit Captain.
From his very first year with the Digital Goats, Austin has challenged himself to learn all aspects of the robot, including mechanical and electrical systems, design, and match strategy. His desire to understand how everything works, willingness to tackle new challenges, and commitment to helping his teammates have made him an important part of Team 829!

Congratulations to Chianne Fields, a senior in our Early Childhood Education Program, on being named the Walker Career Center Student of the Week!
Chianne has started her senior year right where she left off—showing leadership both in the classroom and during her field experience. She is always willing to help her peers during class and takes initiative while working with the young students at her field experience. Chianne helps make sure all of the children are accounted for and get on the bus at dismissal, and her mentor teacher greatly appreciates the support and positive presence Chianne brings to the classroom!

Things look a little different in Ms. G's Ceramics class, temporarily set up in the WCC garage, but the smiles and the fun projects look the same as always! #PinchPots
Heads up... The Robotics team callout meeting is THIS Monday coming up after school!
Students in our Industrial Drive programs have spent the opening weeks of school completing essential safety training and learning the procedures needed to work safely in their respective labs. With that foundation in place, students are now beginning to get out into the labs and put their skills to work!
Our Advanced Fashion students kicked off the year by putting their creativity and teamwork to the test with the Annual Paper Design Challenge! Working in teams, students were challenged to create complete fashion designs using paper, with their finished creations proudly displayed during Back to School Night.
This week, we are proud to recognize Rayeanna McIlquham, a senior in our Work Based Learning/ Culinary Capstone program, as our Student of the Week! Rayeanna has continued to demonstrate the leadership, professionalism, and work ethic that make our Culinary Arts students stand out. Last school year, she served as a student leader in our student-run Eastro Restaurant, gaining valuable hands-on experience while helping her classmates deliver a great dining experience to guests!
