Philosophy

In this day of rapidly expanding and ever-changing technology, it is extremely important that the District have adequate facilities and programs to meet the present and future vocational needs of the adults in the Medina County community. The responsibilities for assisting students beyond high school, including on-the-job training, additional education, military service, or post-secondary counseling, should remain an ongoing obligation of the staff.

Programs are structured to provide the foundation on which adults may build their future lives. As a part of this overall foundation, it is vitally important to provide a wide variety of program selections and specific training in the occupations that best fit the students’ abilities, interests, and needs.

Although actual experience in preparation for the world of work is of the utmost importance, it is important to develop a sense of responsibility as it pertains to citizenship in a democratic society.

Due to the rapidly changing technology and the increasing mobility of people in this society, the District must provide opportunities for the training and retraining of adults as their jobs undergo drastic changes or become obsolete.

District Mission Statement

We are a learning community providing students with a competitive advantage through career technical education and academic excellence.
