Last Friday, the Juniors and Seniors were able to tour Lake Region State College. They participated in 3 breakout sessions with hands on activity that showcased their programs at LRSC. The students also went on a tour of campus and saw the college dorms, "The Den" (The hang out place on campus), much more!

Thank you Lake Region State College for hosting us and the Northeast Education Services Cooperative helping support this college tour! Our students really enjoyed the day.
