Dear Panther Families,

It is hard to believe we are already halfway through the first quarter! This is a great time for each of us to reflect: How have you used the first half of the quarter? Have you taken advantage of opportunities to learn, ask for help, get involved, and move closer to your goals? What will you do differently, or continue doing well, during the weeks ahead? There is still plenty of time to strengthen habits, improve a grade, make a new connection, or simply recommit to giving your best each day.

Let’s use the remainder of this quarter with purpose and remember, “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” — Robert Collier

We are proud of our Panther students and staff! See below for a glimpse into the great things going on at our school.

Congratulations to Our Future Lineworkers!

Please join us in congratulating Connor Bradley (above left) and Carl Carlson (above right), as well as Landyn Narron (not pictured) on their acceptance into the JOCO Electric Lineworker Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

We are incredibly proud of these students for taking an important step toward building their futures in the electric utility industry. Through this program, they will gain valuable hands-on training, industry knowledge, and real-world experience that will prepare them for the demands of a career as an electric lineworker.

Conner, Carl, and Landyn represent the next generation of talent for the electric utility industry. Upon successful completion of the program, they will have developed the job skills, experience, and foundation needed to pursue a successful lineworker career after high school.
