PRS IG IIE When the new Skill Center is completed, it will solve our major problem: space. With its approximate capacity of 700 students it should help do away with the split- schedule Rogers now observes. Students will be able to select any of the twelve vocational programs: Auto Mechanics Hotel-Motel Management Recreational Vehicle Repair Merchandising Industrial Maintainance Child Care QDay Carey Industrial Electronics Business Education Appliance Repair Distributive Education Hotel-Motel Services International Trade Food Services ff The unique architecture, coupled with many innovative program ideas, will draw not only state and local, but also national attention to our school!
