Everglades City
by Dr. Cherie Allison, Principal, EVG, Everglades City School
Everglades City School is proud to announce its partnership with Lorenzo Walker Technical college for continuing education. EVG is having a career expo on March the 28th from 4-7 pm to learn more about the exciting prospects of having classes in Aviation Mechanics, Welding Technology or Marine Service Technologies. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact the school and give them your contact information and which of the programs you would be interested in attending right here at Everglades City School!
Our 7th grade class at EVG was part of the district wide initiative – College, Career and Life Ready Experience.
The purpose is to promote student interest in pursuing post-secondary education and to assist in ongoing career exploration and planning.
Prior to the trip to Florida Gulf Coast University, students completed a career interest assessment and viewed a series of video workshop modules that included high school planning, financial aid and scholarships, career and technical education opportunities, college majors and campus life, and high school opportunities in the arts.
Students visited a dormitory, the library, student center, sports facilities, and the College of Business where they were given a mini lecture on what the stock market is all about in front of the Stock ticker display!
