One of the tenants of the ROC is to put students in real world situations that allow them to learn the skills that will help them develop into young professionals. Recently the students in the Vet Tech program with the guidance of their two instructors, Dr. Hudek and Ms. Rogers, had an opportunity to put that practice into play.

ROC is excited to welcome our 2018 - 2019 student body. We are a unique school dedicated to helping students transition to both college and career. Below is the link to our Welcome Newsletter that was also mailed to enrolled students' homes.

Recently the Regional Occupational Center (ROC) had seven students qualify for national competitions through the SkillsUSA organization. SkillsUSA is a national students leadership organization focused on closing the skills gap in the American workforce.

New programs slated to open during the 2019-2020 school year include Construction, Cosmetology, and Culinary Arts. Auto Tech and Vet Tech will also see their program areas updated.
