"Attending the KCCC gave me the foundation I needed to pursue a career as a hairstylist and a business owner. The staff was always encouraging and treated students as adults. Teachers there genuinely care about your success during school and after graduation. When you attend the KCCC you will always have a resource to come back to even long after you graduate. I look forward to my children becoming students there!" -Jessica Russell

KCCC seniors are able to earn the opportunity to take their career tech skills to businesses and industry during their senior year by meeting academic grade, attendance, behavior, and performance expectations in their career tech lab and academic classes.
"The career center was a great opportunity because it brought me out of my shell and allowed me to do hands-on learning in the lab. I also gained hands-on experience working at a golf course during my senior year for co-op. I met many great people and had a lot of great teachers while I was there!" -Maria (Perry) Moreland
