Vandercook Lake Public Schools

Today our 8th graders had an incredible opportunity to connect learning to the real world! We started the day at the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, where students learned firsthand about the justice system, courtroom procedures, and the important role attorneys and law enforcement play in our community. We then headed to Albion College for a campus visit, where students explored college life, toured facilities, and began envisioning their own futures beyond high school. Thank you to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office and Albion College for investing in our Jayhawks!

Jayhawk Alumni showed up tonight to leave their handprint on the wall! The next drop-in is scheduled for March 16th.
