Posted on 12/07/2021

Students in the Horizons Academy at Four Rivers Career Center took advantage of the warm weather on Friday, December 3, and learned about landscaping skills.

The students raked and cleaned up leaves outside of the Career Center building. They also trimmed trees and bushes.

Horizons Academy is a Pathway to Employment Program located at Four Rivers Career Center. This foundational class is offered to exceptional students with a variety of educational barriers in order to focus on an integrated career and technical education curriculum.

The goal of the program is to provide transformative learning experiences engaging students in a hands-on classroom environment and empowering students to develop skills they need to thrive as they transition from post-secondary education into the community’s workforce, whether it be supported employment or independent employment.
