On Friday, September 15th, members of the senior class travelled to Mid Michigan College for Senior Focus Day. Students were able to tour Mid's welding and fabrication labs as well as speak with vendors from companies like Dow Chemical, Saint-Gobain and Merrill Technologies, among many others. Area college were also on hand to talk with students looking toward a collegiate degree. Here is what students had to say about the day: “It was cool to see the fabrication shops. I didn’t know that colleges had those hands-on trade-type programs.” “I liked how they had hands-on activities. I also learned that Mid has hunting/fishing [Outdoor Related ] programs.” “My favorite thing was seeing the welding lab. I was able to do a virtual weld and was rated on how well I perfected the weld.”
