Vantage information

It’s an exciting time at Vantage Career Center, where students can explore, experience, and excel in high school while preparing for immediate employment and further education!

To prepare for the upcoming school year, Vantage will hold two orientation meetings to welcome new students and their parents to the school.  The first orientation meeting will be held on Monday, August 27, at 7:30 p.m. This is for students who are enrolled in Ag & Industrial Power Technology, Auto Body, Auto Technology, Building & Grounds Maintenance, Carpentry, Electricity, Industrial Mechanics, Precision Machining, and Welding programs.

The second orientation meeting is set for Tuesday, August 28, at 7:30 p.m. and is for students in the following programs: Network Systems, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Interactive Media, Early Childhood Education, Food Careers, Health Careers, and Medical Office Management programs.

Both meetings will be held in the new Commons Area at Vantage.  The evening will include a brief general session as well as an opportunity for students and their parents to meet the career-technical and academic instructors and check out the labs.  Class schedules will be available for pick-up and students will be able to pay their program fees, put money on their lunch account, and be measured for uniforms.  All students new to Vantage and their parents should attend this meeting. Those attending should park in the south (student) parking lot and enter the building through the new Commons entrance on the southeast corner of the building.

Students who attended Vantage last year can get their class schedules, put money on their lunch account and pay program fees between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 21-22.  Students who are unable to pick up their schedules on the dates above are asked to call Vantage Student Services at 419.238.5411 or 800.686.3944, extension 2126, to make other arrangements.

The first day of school for new Vantage students is Wednesday, September 5. The first day of school for returning Vantage students is Thursday, September 6. The school day runs from 8:23 a.m. to 2:40 p.m.
