Sometimes the most important lessons happen outside of the lesson plan.
When a power outage forced the cancellation of the final day of our Hammertime Career Exploration Camp, campers were unable to finish building their toolboxes. Rather than letting those projects go unfinished, instructors Mr. Biggs and Mr. Secord went above and beyond by coming in on their own time to complete each toolbox for the students.
Their dedication ensured every camper could take home a finished project and a lasting reminder of what they accomplished this week. Thank you, Mr. Biggs and Mr. Secord, for your commitment to our students and for always going the extra mile.

Yesterday, we celebrated more than the dedication of a house. We celebrated the impact of hard work, community, and opportunity.
What started as an empty lot on Howell Ave. in Adrian is now a beautiful home for the Zick Family, thanks in part to the incredible work of our Residential Construction students. Seeing the joy on their faces made it all come together.
We are so proud of our students for the craftsmanship, dedication, and heart they poured into this project. A special thank you to Lenawee County Habitat for Humanity for partnering with us and giving our students the opportunity to take on such a meaningful project.

Today we had the exciting opportunity to welcome Cindy Hasselbring, Integration Manager for the Office of STEM Engagement at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, to the LISD TECH Center alongside her mother, Jan Hasselbring, who is from Michigan.
Cindy is helping lead Career and Technical Education (CTE) initiatives through NASA, making today’s visit especially meaningful as we showcased the incredible opportunities our students experience every day right here in Lenawee County.
The visit was made even more special through the connection between Cindy and LISD Assistant Superintendent of CTE & Instruction/General Services Jenny Heath, who are former colleagues. Their professional relationship helped open the door for NASA to visit our building and see firsthand the innovation, hands-on learning, and career preparation happening right here in Lenawee County.
We are grateful for the chance to share our programs, our students, and our vision for the future of CTE with leaders who are helping shape opportunities on a national level.
