Welcome from Principal Norman Welcome to the McKenzie Pride website. There are many activities that occur at the career center that most people are unaware. These activities include the teaching of academic classes such as English, math and social studies. The academic classes are CORE 40 approved and are the same classes that are taught at the two high schools for meeting graduation requirements. Our "robotics" team is starting its second year of competition. A meeting of interested parents and students was held and over 82 people were present for the initial meeting of the year. Competition will be later in the year at St. Louis, MO. Two new classes were added to the pre-engineering program, Principles of Engineering and Civil Engineering and Architecture. The pre-engineering program is part of the national Project Lead the Way program out of the Rochester Institute of Technology. The enrollment for the career center is up significantly this year and there are few empty rooms to be found. With the increase in enrollment, the hope is that we will be able to add additional technology labs in the future to supplement our present curriculum and to provide additional opportunities for technology classes. We hope you have a great year and if you have any questions about the McKenzie Career Center, don't hesitate to get in touch. Barry L. Norman, Principal (317) 576-6420 barrynorman@msdlt.k12.in.us Vision The staff of the McKenzie Career Center believes that students will complete career programs at a mastery level, which will lead them to post secondary education or a career choice in the current workplace. McKenzie Career Center will provide a foundation for students desiring to explore non-vocational talents with an open mind toward lifelong learning. Each student will strive for his/her personal best in academics, civic consciousness, individual responsibility, and interactive professional and personal skills.
