Sophomores - WTCC Applications DUE!

All 10th grade students recently visited the Wayne Technical and Career Center (WTCC) in Williamson to learn more about the vocational programs offered.

If students are interested in taking a career program next year, they need to complete an application and submit it to their school counselor. WTCC applications are currently available in the Counseling Office. Slots in popular programs can fill up fast, so students are encouraged to submit an application quickly.
