Seniors Visit ICC
Fourteen of our our seniors visited ICC on Thursday, February 29th. They started the day with an online career coaching assessment to help them match their interests with their skills. Seniors were able to visit the vocational center, Cougarplex, and academic building. LW had the honor of being the first school to tour the new Workforce Sustainability Center. Seven of our students have recently applied to ICC and were able to get their student id so they are ready for summer and fall classes!
Our ICC Admissions Counselor will visit Senior Seminar on April 4th to help our students register for classes and prepare for their transition to college!
