As our Summer Enrichment Program comes to a close, we extend our gratitude to all of our Academic Career & Technical Pathway partners for opening their doors and investing in the future of our students.

Over the past several weeks, our students have gained invaluable real-world experiences through hands-on learning opportunities across multiple career fields. Students explored careers in Construction through HVAC and welding experiences, completed OSHA 10 safety training, strengthened their business knowledge through financial literacy and wealth-building workshops, and participated in an immersive Health Sciences exploration visiting medical professionals across a variety of specialties.

These experiences help bring classroom learning to life while providing our students with meaningful exposure to potential career pathways. Thank you to each of our partners for your time, mentorship, and commitment to helping develop the next generation of skilled professionals and faith-filled leaders. ...

This week, seven of our students in our Health Sciences Academic Career & Technical Pathway are embarking on an exciting hands-on exploration of the healthcare field through our partnership with the Latin American Medical Association of Houston (LAMAH) @lamah_houston .

Beginning yesterday, our students started a week-long "Camino a la Medicina" program that will take them inside a different medical practice each day, providing valuable exposure to a variety of healthcare specialties. Throughout the week, they will learn directly from physicians and medical professionals in fields including Hematology & Oncology, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Endocrinology, and Cardiovascular Medicine.

Experiences like these allow our students to explore potential career paths within the Health Sciences fields, ask questions, and gain firsthand insight into the many opportunities available within the healthcare profession.

We are grateful to LAMAH and the physicians who have opened their offices and will be sharing their time, knowledge, and expertise with our students throughout this whole week. Opportunities like this exemplify our commitment to preparing students for future success through meaningful career exploration and real-world learning experiences. ...

Some of our Business Career & Technical Education students spent a day last week participating in a special Summer Enrichment Program led by Mr. Champ Warren of Merrill Lynch, gaining valuable insight into wealth creation, career success, and professional development.

Students learned the power of investing early, including how investing just $100 per month in the S&P 500 over time can potentially grow into significant long-term wealth. They also explored the importance of starting now and how delaying investment decisions can dramatically impact future financial outcomes.

In addition, Mr. Warren shared six key principles for achieving success and creating opportunities throughout their careers, drawing from his 33 years of experience as a top-ranked Private Wealth Advisor. Students also learned professional sales and communication techniques that can help them influence outcomes, stand out and excel during job interviews and possible college admissions.

We are grateful to Mr. Warren for investing his time and expertise in our students and helping prepare the next generation of business leaders with real-world financial and professional skills. ...
