High school juniors and seniors are eligible to apply for admission to the Vocational School. This school is designed to provide education and training for youth whose talents, interests, and objectives are many and varied. No hurdles are put in a student’s path that has a genuine interest in a particular occupational program. In other words, there are. very few prerequisites. There are, however, recommended courses for background that a student should take prior to Vocational School enroll- ment. The high school counselor can give this kind of information on a specific program. The only fees charged are a $5.00 fee at the time of enrollment. These fees are paid to the home school dur- ing the normal time book rental fees are paid. The only other cost is for some specific equipment or attire for a particular program. These costs are usually quite reason- able. Every effort will be made prior to enrollment to assist the student in making the best occupational choice. However, should the choice prove wrong, changes can be made on an individual basis depending, of course, on the time of change request and the availability of openings. The same credit system applies at the Vocational School as in most schools; one-half unit per hour per semester. In other words, a student can earn six credits for the successful completion of one year of an occupa- tional program. Credits are recommended by the Voca- tional School and issued by the high school. Students receive their grades each six weeks. A copy of LEFT: Todd Miller in Electronics.

The grades are earned primarily on perfor- mance types of activities with some, but not many, writ- ten tests. The school day at the Career Center consists of rough- ly three consecutive hours either in the morning, after- noon, or possibly from three to six in the evening for some selected programs. (Cosmetology students attend school more than three hours per day.) There are at present four vocational youth organiza- tions at the Career Center. They are: DECA (Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America) FFA (Future Farmers of America) OEA (Office Education Association) and VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). These four organizations provide activities, either social, com- petitive, or leadership for almost any student with any interest. Students attending the Vocational School still have ample time to participate in athletics and other activities at their home school. 28
