Detroit Carpenters Career Day Field Trip
Current 11 and 12 grade students interested in a career within skilled trades should consider attending the MRCC’s Career Day at the Detroit Carpenter and Millwright Training Center on May 21. Students will learn about what it takes to become a carpenter, floor-layer, millwright, pile-driver, solar installer, and more.
Students will hear directly from instructors, staff, and apprentices while touring the hands-on
training areas. They will have the opportunity to try out the virtual welder and basic tools. This
experiential career readiness opportunity will empower students to make informed
decisions about their post-secondary pathway, including the option of a debt-free, earnwhile-
you-learn apprenticeship that leads to a lucrative, rewarding career building Michigan’s future.
Lunch is provided.
Permission slips are due by Friday, May 17 to the Career Center. For more information, please reach out to Tara Hall, Career Development Facilitator.

As a part of that process, the Board hired the Michigan Association of School Boards to lead the search and is now in the input phase, gathering feedback from important stakeholders.
On May 15-16, the search consultant will be holding public meetings for the LOCS community to engage with the process.
On Wednesday, May 15, community members have two options:
- Attend an in-person session from 1:30-2:15 p.m. at the LOCS Administration Building (315 N. Lapeer St., Lake Orion).
- Log in to a virtual option from 6-6:45 p.m. on a Zoom meeting. Registration is available at the meeting link.
On Thursday, May 16, community members have two options:
- Attend an in-person session from 5:30-6:15 p.m. at Lake Orion High School in the Kiva (through the commons and down the stairs).
- Attend an in-person session from 6:30-7:15 p.m. at Lake Orion High School in the Kiva (through the commons and down the stairs).
Gathering input to build the candidate profile is an early step in the search process. Those who cannot attend the meetings are able to offer their input through an online survey.
More information about the upcoming steps and the job posting can be found at LakeOrionSchools.org/SuperintendentSearch.
Thank you for taking the time to recognize one of Lake Orion Community Schools' staff members for their excellence.
The intent of the Distinguished Dragon program is to ensure that staff members who go above and beyond their regular duties are appreciated. The additional effort or support can range from helping an individual to helping a group or any effort that seems worthy of praise.
The staff member can be nominated by a student, parent, community member or even their own colleague. We ask for the submitter's name and contact information to follow up with specific questions if necessary.
Please complete the form entirely so the individual can be appropriately honored for their contributions.
