School celebrates welding program and MEMS initiative led by Joseph Zernich and Kyle White

During the recent Lakewood City Schools Board of Education meeting, significant attention was given to the district's vocational programs, particularly the welding and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) initiatives. The meeting highlighted the contributions of dedicated educators and the positive impact these programs have on students.

The board celebrated the welding program led by Mr. Joseph Zernich, who brings a wealth of diverse experience to the role. His enthusiasm for teaching and commitment to student learning was evident, as he expressed excitement about the future of the program and the opportunities it presents for students. Zernich's leadership is expected to enhance the skills and employability of students interested in pursuing careers in welding.

Additionally, the MEMS program, spearheaded by Mr. Kyle White, was recognized for its growth and success. White, who serves as both an engineering and math teacher, has been instrumental in establishing local and national partnerships that enrich the program. His efforts have not only built the MEMS program from the ground up but have also provided students with valuable real-world connections and experiences.

The discussions surrounding these programs underscore the district's commitment to vocational education and the importance of equipping students with practical skills for their future careers. As the board continues to support these initiatives, the community can anticipate further developments that will enhance educational opportunities for students in Lakewood City Schools.
