Obviously a person's school experiences contribute a great deal to the formation of good work habits, interests, and ideals. Those of us who are responsible for your school experiences are constantly in the process of evaluating which experiences are contributing the most toward developing not only trade skills, but personality development as well. We are filled with a glow of pride and satisfaction as we observe the developing of secure, well-rounded personalities of the vast majority of our students.

When we first come to Vocational, our coordinators know a great deal about us for they are the ones who select those students who qualify to attend Vocational. During the time we are at school, we become well acquainted with them for they are always willing to help us whenever we have a problem concerning our trade or job. Throughout our Junior year, they give us tests to determine our abilities and discuss with us our future plans at different intervals. When we become Seniors, they help us to decide whether we want to work or go on to college. As a result of our co-ordinators’ work, our focus, or “set’’, on our future becomes steady and clear, and we leave Vocational with the confidence that we are equipped to take our place in the world.
