Lakeshore Public Schools

Happy Manufacturing Day 2024! Today, we celebrate the incredible world of manufacturing and the essential skills it brings to our economy and communities. At Lakeshore Public Schools, we’re proud to offer a range of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs designed to equip our students with the skills they need for the future! From hands-on experience in machining and welding to innovative coursework in engineering and design, our CTE offerings are tailored to meet the needs of today’s world and tomorrow’s workforce. A big thank you to our dedicated educators and partners who make these programs possible and prepare our students for successful careers in manufacturing and beyond!

The Math & Science Center freshmen spent the beginning of the week in Northern Michigan. Their experience included hiking in Sleeping Bear Dunes, collecting data on trees for their statistics project, visiting the Platte River State Fishery, and doing scientific research aboard the Inland Seas schooner. Back in the classroom, they are now analyzing their data for their geometry and biology classes.
