Student speaker credits Winter Lakes for turning her education around
Summary
At a board meeting spotlight, student Yvette described overcoming ADHD-related challenges and credited Winter Lakes High School and staff for helping her recover credits and pursue cosmetology training.
At the Coquille School District board meeting, Winter Lakes High School students and staff presented a school spotlight highlighting career and reengagement programming.
Student Yvette testified that before coming to Winter Lakes she was behind on credits and unmotivated but found support after enrolling. "If I had to describe Winter Lakes in 3 words, the 1st would be understanding," Yvette said, and credited teachers for helping her make a plan to finish her coursework. She described discovering cosmetology through hands-on programs and field trips and said the school helped her identify a career path.
Winter Lakes staff described practical career-and-college experiences, including TRIO, Aspire programming, and visits to Klamath Community College and trade expos. Tiffany Cox and academic staff highlighted plans for college-and-career week (March 9——12) and a new student-run nail store at the school, and invited board members and community volunteers to help with resume workshops and mock interviews.
