Sophomores to attend Sneak a Peak

On Tuesday, January 5, 2017, the students in the Sauk Centre 10th grade will attend
Sneak a Peak at Alexandria Technical and Community College. This event is made
possible through funding from Carl D. Perkins grant. Sauk Centre is part of a area
high school group making up the Runestone Consortium. Sneak a Peak is a career
fair where students will choose possible interests in a variety of occupations and
attend workshops throughout the day listening to experts in a variety of fields.
Many of the careers center around the technical fields but also there is a strong
emphasis on the medical occupations and computer/technology occupations. These
career studies fulfill part of the obligation that schools have to follow as part of the
Worlds Best Work Force legislation. This should be an exciting day with the
students leaving Sauk Centre at 8:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30.

Freshman to attend Grade 9 Expo at AAHS

On Friday, January 27th, 2017, the 9th grade students from Sauk Centre will be
attending a college expo at Alexandria Area High School. This will be a three-hour
event where our students will be in direct contact with college personnel from all
over the mid-west. Students will have an opportunity to explore what different
colleges have to offer and look at planning for their future education options after
high school. There will be four-year college universities as well as two-year
technical institutes and community colleges represented at this expo. This activity
is sponsored by the Carl D. Perkins grants and qualifies as part of the WBWF criteria
for college and career readiness. It will be a great opportunity for our freshman to
get acclimated to what their future holds and collect ideas about furthering their
educations after they have graduated from Sauk Centre Schools.
