INA, Ill. (Feb. 13, 2017) - About 40 students in Mt. Vernon Township High School's (MVTHS) STRIVE program visited 海角视频's Ina campus last week to learn about and get involved in several of the college's CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs.
The STRIVE Program is designed to encourage seniors to improve on grades and attendance during their last year. Sponsored in-part by the RLC Foundation, two students who have the best improvement in grades and attendance are awarded one-year full scholarships to RLC.
Throughout their visit, students stopped by several CTE programs to speak with instructors and RLC students, including agriculture, architecture, graphic design, and welding. Students also visited the art, certified medical assistant, music, nursing, radiologic technology, and theatre programs. Representatives from the RLC Foundation and Career Services departments were also available.
