LIVONIA CAREER TECHNICAL CENTER

Dear LCTC Community,

As principal of the Livonia Career Technical Center, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you all to the beginning of another exciting school year. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you and your families.

At LCTC, we are proud to offer a unique educational experience that combines rigorous academics with hands-on, industry standard training through our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Our goal is to ensure that every student leaves our programs with the skills, certifications, and confidence needed to excel in the workforce or continue their education in college or a specialized training program.

This year we are particularly excited to introduce new programs and updates that will enhance our curriculum and better prepare our students for the demands of today’s job market. I am thrilled to announce the following updates and new programs:

- Livonia Public Schools and Schoolcraft college have partnered to offer students the opportunity to

participate in our CTE Criminal Justice Early Middle College.

- Our Advanced Medicine program will be partnering with Corewell Health to provide internship

opportunities for students this spring.

- All our CTE programs will be offering college credit opportunities through articulation agreements along with many of our programs offering industry-standard credentials students can obtain.

- Thanks to a 61C grant, our Health Science program has acquired two state-of-the-art simulation

manikins.

- We have expanded our business partnerships to offer more work-based learning opportunities for our students.

- Our Automotive Technology program will be expanding its curriculum to include automotive welding.

These advancements and many others not listed reflect our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in career and technical education.

As we begin this school year, I encourage students to take full advantage of the opportunities available to you this year. Whether you are exploring a new career pathway, earning industry certifications, or participating in internships, your experiences here at LCTC will lay the foundation for your future success. Our dedicated staff are here to support you every step of the way.

Education is collaborative, and I look forward to partnering with staff, parents and with the community to provide our students with the best possible learning experience. As we begin this year, let us work hand in hand to create a learning community that empowers each student to reach their fullest potential.

With LCTC Pride,

Lindsay Gray

Principal
