The 2023-2024 school year at Four County Career Center is opening its’ doors to over 980 new and returning students.
Upon completing their training, students receive a Career Passport containing a certificate documenting their training along with verification of employability skills.
If they meet the graduation requirements of their high school, they also receive a diploma from their associate high school.
Students attend the Career Center classes starting at 8:45 a.m. and ending at 3:00 p.m. All classes will be held in-person in the labs and classrooms following the state requirements for health and safety measures.
Four County Career Center follows a closed lunch period policy requiring all students to either purchase a lunch in the cafeteria or carry their own. Lunches conform to federal governmental standards for a nutritious student lunch.
