There were no footballs or basketballs. However, lights were bright and cameras were rolling as local high school seniors committed their future plans at Trumbull Career and Technical Centerβs first βCollege Signing Dayβ on Tuesday morning, April 26.
βItβs an opportunity to highlight students who are planning for the future, whether its college, employment or military service,β said Jason Gray, Superintendent, Trumbull Career and Technical Center. βItβs important to take time to recognize their accomplishments.β
Dr. Lance Grahn, dean and chief administrative officer for ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ at Trumbull welcomed incoming seniors, Destiny Jenkins (Lordstown), Rachel Bockelman (Mathews), and Ryan Petiya (Warren). All three will pursue degrees this fall. Petiya plans to take course work leading to a computer science degree. Jenkins and Bockelman plan to enter the nursing program.
βThis was an easy choice for me,β Bockelman said. βWhen my grandfather was sick, many people told me ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State nurses stand out. By attending ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ at Trumbull, I stay close to home and chase my dream this fall.β
ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State's nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Association Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing. Students may complete all four years of this program at ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ at Trumbull.
Like Nursing, students can complete a baccalaureate computing degree through the Bachelor of Applied and Technical Studies program. ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ at Trumbull offers an associate degree in Computer Technology.
