LCTC Community,
I hope this message finds you well. The second semester is a fresh start, offering opportunities for growth, learning, and success. As we navigate the semester, communication is key. Feel free to reach out to teachers, or myself if you have any concerns. Let’s make this semester a collaborative and successful journey for everyone involved.
Wednesday, January 31st is our Preview Night open to all 8th through 11th grade students and parents. This is a great opportunity to check out the programs and unique learning experiences we offer at LCTC.
Lastly, a reminder to our students about driving safely in the parking lot. Please drive slowly, as this is especially important in the winter months. You must go around the loop when exiting LCTC. Do not go against the flow of traffic. Driving to the career center is a privilege and can be taken away at any time if the rules are not being followed.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and GO LIONS!!!!!
Mrs. Gray
LCTC Principal

STUDENT BLOOD DRIVE
The LCTC Pre-Medicine Program is hosting our annual blood drive. The blood drive is open ONLY to students who attend/have classes at the Career Center. If your LCTC student is interested in donating, please have them sign up via the link below. Please inform your student to sign up for a time that correlates with the time they are normally in attendance at the Career Center. They will be excused from their class during their donation time.
PRE-MEDICINE CLASS
Ms. Hinman's Pre-Medicine class is learning about wound care during their first aid unit. Students created a wound using wound moulage and wrote about how they would properly care for it.
Mrs. Vertin's Pre-Medicine students have been learning how to perform first aid for multiple types of injuries. Here, they were able to write a story about how their "patient" obtained their injury then they used supplies provided to them to design and construct their injuries. As you can see, the injuries were quite extensive on some and less so on others. They learned about avulsions, lacerations, abrasions, incisions, and amputations! Not only did they have to know how the injury was obtained, but they had to also explain how the injury needed to be treated appropriately. Learning and fun were had by all! Their instructors are very proud!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE CLASS
This week, Criminal Justice students are learning Laws of Arrest and different handcuffing techniques. Different situations require different responses from police officers. Here you see students learning to handcuff a "compliant" offender.
GAME DESIGN CLASS
Students in Game Design are learning how to create custom assets using Piskel to create pixel art as well as how to animate their characters. They began by creating a tree, a chest, and a crate. Then, they created a character and learned how to animate it to make it look like it is running, jumping, crouching, and walking.
ANIMATION AND WEB DESIGN CLASS
Students in Web Design are working with a Client to design a website. They interviewed their client to learn more about what they are looking for, their target audience and to learn about their business.
This week, they completed a black and white wireframe and sent it to their client to obtain feedback and approval to move forward with creating a prototype design.
