(Right) Mr. Greg Zyber, Co-op director. Mr. Greg Zyber, coordinator of the Co-op program, helps students to find a job that will help the student learn about a skill that they would like to pursue after graduation. The Coop program revolves around local and area businesses which hire the student. The owner of the business then grades the student on how well he does the job while training him for the job. Juniors and seniors may enroll in this program . The program is set up so that the student may take their required classes in the morning and then go to their job in the afternoon. The student on the Co-op program receives three school credits. The Vo-ed program which has the same aspects as Co-op (learning a trade) has more of a school atmosphere. The Vocational Center, located in Battle Creek, has more equipment than the average high school to help the student learn a skill to get a job after graduation. The center has several classes that can be taken such as, child care, cosmetology, secretarial practices, welding, auto mechanics, carpentry and plumbing, plus other various classes that will help the student learn about the field he or she wishes to follow after high school.
