As we approach the final 8 weeks of the school year, we want to remind our students and parents that it is important to attend the career center on a daily basis, give their best effort in the classroom and lab, and prepare for end of school year credentials and certifications. These credentials and certifications will go a long way in setting your child up for success not only while they are still in high school, but once they graduate high school and start the next phase of the young career.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you may reach me at 317-392-4191 ex. 1101 or jpowers@brcp.k12.in.us
