Career Academy Newsletter

Our inaugural semester in the newly renovated Career Academy is coming to a close. On January 16th we will welcome some new faces and start a new round of semester long courses. Our students who participate in year-long courses have learned the ropes and will continue to bring energy and enthusiasm to their programs of study. Our hope is that every student who enters our space does so with a renewed sense of curiosity, creativity, and passion for learning.

If you, or someone you know, would like to see more of what we have going on in the Career Academy please contact us at 712) 276-6668. We are eager to partner with businesses and individuals in our community.
