This week, members of the Hancock
Leadership class visited Van Buren Local Schools to learn more about the experiences we provide for our students! A few highlights of the tour were learning about our elementary STEAM classes, Project Lead the Way courses in the middle school, The Armory (our student ran store), and how our high school students are learning about careers and potentials paths for after high school. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this event possible!
