Area 30 Career Center

Join us for Area 30’s Annual Scholarship Golf Scramble! Thanks to our amazing community, last year we awarded $22,000 in scholarships to 21 graduating seniors from all five of our partner high schools. These scholarships help students take their next step—whether that’s entering the workforce, attending college/trade school, or serving in the military.

This event will be held on Saturday, September 19th at Clover Meadows Golf Course. We’re looking for golf teams, sponsors, and donations to make this year’s event even bigger! Ready to get involved? Fill out the pdf below or click here to register a team or become a sponsor.

Did you know that 12 of Area 30’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs give students the opportunity to earn 9 or more dual college credits—the equivalent of three college classes? Last year alone, 209 students earned 2,167 dual credits, saving families a combined $405,696.36 in tuition costs. These opportunities are made possible through our partnerships with Vincennes University, Ivy Tech Community College, and Indiana State University.

We are proud to provide students with state and industry recognized certifications. Last year 349 certifications were earned, with 181 students (52%) earning more than one certification.

These certifications include: Auto Services Excellence (ASE), American Welding Society (AWS), CDL-B, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Net+, HBI Carpentry, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA), Hazmat I & II, Fire Fighter I, Fire Fighter 2, ServSafe, ProStart, Jail Officer, OSHA 10, CPR, Stop the Bleed, and Narcan Training. Now that's something worth celebrating!

My name is Stephanie Rush and I am so excited to be joining Area 30 as the Medical Assisting Instructor! I have more than 30 years of experience as a Certified Medical Assistant and earned my Associates of Applied Science degree from Ivy Tech. I've worked in a variety of healthcare settings including Immediate Care Centers, Family Practice, Occupational Health, ENT, Wellness, and Medical Laboratory. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share my passion and knowledge with the next generation of healthcare professionals. Some fun facts about me: I am a proud mom of three beautiful children (ages 18, 20, and 22) and in August 2011, I donated one of my kidneys!

98 Students from our Nursing, Medical Assisting, Early Childhood Education, Law Enforcement, Welding, and WIRED programs recently completed their CPR training. Shoutout to our amazing instructor, Mrs. Baker, for organizing and teaching this important training. 👏

Each service is $15 per person to be paid at the time of service.

Mrs. Heavin has put together a TON of helpful resources for juniors and seniors to help them stay on track as they prepare for life after high school!

These resources are packed with practical information, including tips for planning ahead, College Visits 101, college entrance test overviews, Next Level Jobs Indiana, Indiana college admissions information, and much more. Be sure to save the date on the upcoming College Fair (see flyer below)!

As a part of the Indiana College GO! Campaign, participating colleges around the state waive their application fees, allowing students to apply for FREE. College Application Week will run from September 21-25, 2026. The goal is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure each student submits at least one admissions application.
