What's Happening at the Warren County Career Center
Peyton Biggs has always been passionate about sports. As a Varsity soccer player at Lebanon High School, she knows firsthand the importance of fitness, recovery, and injury prevention. That passion led her to explore a future in sports medicine and to enroll in WCCC’s Exercise Science Program.
“I knew I wanted to work in the sports medicine field when I got older,” Peyton said. “I also saw all the benefits of coming to the career center, so I knew it was the right option for me.”
Through lessons in the Exercise Science Program, Peyton is learning how the body works and how to help athletes perform their best. She especially enjoys getting hands-on experience, such as learning how to tape an athlete properly.
After graduation, Peyton plans to continue her education in sports medicine and hopes to become a certified personal trainer, helping others reach their goals just as she’s reaching hers.
This week at their annual dinner at Bel-Wood Country Club, Area Progress Council of Warren County honored Shawna Lynch, whose dedication to service and education truly exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond. Since early 2023, Shawna has served as the assistant coordinator for the WCCC Fire & EMS program. She began her career in the fire service after earning her EMT certification from Warren County Career Center (WCCC). Shawna serves as a firefighter/paramedic for Miami Township in Clermont County and is also a certified fire and emergency services instructor. In addition to her fire service work, she is a registered nurse, holding an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN). She applies her medical expertise as an RN at Beacon Orthopaedics Surgery Center. Shawna is an incredible asset to our Fire & EMS program, while also being a wife and a mother.
Congratulations on the recognition, Shawna, and thank you for all you do for our students!
Back in September, we shared that Trevor Banks, a senior in the Pre-Nursing Program and president of WCCC’s SODA Chapter, was selected to speak at the 2025 AMAT (Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation) Conference.
Trevor shared his passion for organ, eye, and tissue donation, and even told a personal story about his dad needing a tissue transplant after an on-the-job injury.
We are so proud of Trevor’s representation of WCCC’s SODA Chapter on the national stage, and can’t wait to see his continued success through the Pre-Nursing Program at WCCC!
We look forward to seeing you next week as we host Kirby’s Trunk or Treat on WCCC’s Main Campus!
On Thursday, October 23rd, from 6:00-7:30 p.m., stop by in your costume for treats and sweets, and the chance to learn about some local businesses. Don’t miss the opportunity to see WCCC’s firetruck and equipment up close, along with displays from local businesses!
