Dear TROY ,
It is hard to believe December is almost over and along with it the end of our first semester at TROY School. This semester brought with it a variety of NEW experiences to TROY; new teachers and staff, new students, a new therapy dog, a new senior seminar course and new student internships. However, our most exciting "NEW" activity for the school year is our new partnership with Whitko Career Academy. We are thrilled about this partnership and currently have five students attending morning classes for welding/machining and culinary arts (pictured above). Students attending the career academy have worked extremely hard to be considered for enrollment and we are incredibly proud of how they have performed during their first semester. At the career academy students are learning real world skills and will receive industry recognized certifications that prepare them for a successful future in their field of study. Our partnership with the career academy provides select TROY students with additional options for their futures and we are excited to see this partnership grow with the potential of more students attending the career academy next fall.
They say time flies when you are having fun and our days and months flew by this semester! Now, I would not say it is all fun every day, but I cannot think of a better investment of time than to walk through life with these teenagers. I am looking forward to bringing students back in the building in January and updating you on their successes during our second semester.
Wishing you a happy, healthy & safe new year !
Cindy Baker, Executive Director
