Counselor John Hall explained Vocational Education as providing exploratory ac- tivitiesand learning experiences that contribute to the de- velopment of work and work related responsibilities. There are several work pro- grams to choose from. Dis- tributive Education was created for students who are interested in wholesaling and service selling jobs. The course counts as an elective credit and each student must work at least 15 hours a week. Vice President Senior Joe Rosa has really enjoyed the past years in DECA. He claims, it has really taught me a lot about responsibility and the working world. For those students who are interested in the more advanced scientific vocations, there is a new course called Vocational Printing. Teacher Henry Livingston explained Printing is a very open field with a lot of opportunities in the outside world. Running a printing press isn't the only skill learr in this class.
