    An unforgettable adventure awaits your child in Italy!
    After rolling out our London and Dublin tour for this coming Summer, I wanted to get the information about our 2027 tour out as soon as possible so that families can prepare financially and have more time to get a passport, etc. for this option!
    We will be heading to Italy in Summer 2027, and I'd love for your child to join! Students will get to see Venice, Florence, Rome and Assisi and the tour includes stops like a gondola ride in Venice and touring Vatican City in Rome. Want to learn more? Register for my upcoming interest meeting!

    The Occupational Course of Study (OCS) program is excited to announce the launch of our OCS Clothing Closet — a new initiative to support students who may be in need of everyday clothing or professional attire for job training and interviews.
    We are currently seeking donations of gently used clothing to help stock our closet. Items we are looking for include:
    • Everyday wear (jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, etc.)
    • Business casual or interview-appropriate clothing
    • Shoes (clean and in good condition)
    • Coats and jackets
    • Belts, accessories, and unused socks or undergarments (new only)
    If you have any clean, gently used items you’d like to donate, please bring them to Dr. Samson, OCS Room 221 at your convenience. Your support will go a long way in helping our students feel confident and prepared for both school and workplace settings.
    Thank you for your generosity and support of our students!
