Our Hemmeter preschoolers had a spook-tacular time exploring the insides of pumpkins! After digging in, scooping out seeds, and making discoveries, our little scientists took the fun a step further with a bubbling science experiment using baking soda and vinegar! What a fun-filled day of hands-on learning, exploration, and fall excitement.

For Olivia Hart, Career and Technical Education (CTE) has been about more than learning new skills. It’s been about discovering her future!
A graduate of Heritage High School and the Saginaw Career Complex’s Youth Development and Leadership Program, Olivia gained valuable hands-on experience working with children while exploring potential career paths.
Through her time at SCC, Olivia had the opportunity to work in elementary classrooms, learn about child development, and gain a better understanding of what it takes to work with young learners.
Her experience helped her discover a passion for working with children and gave her a clearer picture of what she wants to pursue in life.
Olivia’s story is just one example of how CTE helps students explore their interests, gain real-world experience, and prepare for their futures.
