Members of the SkillsUSA American Spirit team are completing a project in which they have to promote Career-Technical Education.  These students participated in sophomore tours and sophomore visits.  They also planned an informational booth that will be open during the Ohio Valley Expo. 

Sophomore visits were conducted during the months of January and February.  During this time students from Buckeye Hills traveled to the seven area high schools to inform high school students of the training available at the Career Center.  Following the visits, sophomores signed up to tour Buckeye Hills during the months of February and March.  In total, 301 students toured the campus of Buckeye Hills Career Center. 

During the Ohio Valley Expo, SkillsUSA members along with students in FFA, BPA, and FCCLA will operate an informational booth.  This booth will provide information to the community and prospective students that attend the Expo with demonstrations, flyers, and tours. 

The Ohio Valley Expo will be held on the campus of the Buckeye Hills Career Center on Saturday, April 17, 2010 and Sunday, April 18, 2010 from 12:00 until 5:00.
