Student, staff highlight Winter Lakes High School cosmetology and CTE programs
Summary
A Winter Lakes student praised the school's individualized supports and cosmetology program; staff described partnerships, grant-funded college and career activities, and a student-run nail enterprise and on-site practical exams.
The board heard a school spotlight from Winter Lakes High School. Student Yvette described how the school's supports helped her get back on track and find a career path: "When my parents 1st enrolled me into Winter Lakes, everything changed." She credited teachers and programs for providing planning, motivation and opportunities such as cosmetology, trade tours and guest speakers.
Principal-level staff and the academic advisor detailed external partnerships (TRIO, Aspire, Oregon Goes to College Fund), guest visits, and College & Career Week (March 9'10); Tiffany Cox described cosmetology work, on-site practical exams and a nascent student-run nail store where decorated acrylic nails will be sold to the public. Cox noted the school has 10 high-school diploma graduates and one GED completer so far this year.
