Launching in 2023-2024: A new Advanced Manufacturing Pathway!
Indiana’s graduation pathways are an important piece of the new way we are
preparing our students for college and careers.
The purpose of Graduation Pathways is to ensure that every Hoosier student graduates from high school with:
1) A broad awareness of and engagement with individual career interests and associated career options;
2) A strong foundation of academic and technical skills; and
3) Demonstrable employability skills that lead directly to meaningful opportunities for postsecondary education, training, and gainful employment.
Concord was one of five local school districts in partnership with Horizon Education Alliance were awarded a 3E (Explore, Engage, Experience) grant from the Indiana Department of Education. This grant will lead to the development of a comprehensive K-12 career pathway focused on Advanced Manufacturing. It will help the build-out of career exploration activities in grades K-6, focused engagement activities in grades 6-10, and experiential activities across all four levels of work-based learning in grades 11-12. This grant will produce opportunities that align with courses and programs offered in advanced manufacturing at the Career Center and high schools, creating an aligned career pathway for students.

Four of our fabulous fourth graders recently received a “Knowledge is Dynamite” award from the Kiwanis Club of Elkhart!
From left, Kayiona Talley (South Side), Sajia Henagan (East Side), Cynthia Guzman (Ox Bow), and Perla Navarro (West Side). Each school nominated a student to receive the award.
ABOUT THE AWARD
"‘Knowledge is Dynamite" is an award that celebrates a child’s realization that education and hard work is a GOOD thing, that effort in the classroom and work at home bring accomplishment, that learning and knowledge has so much potential power it is like the explosive dynamite. We honor kids that are good leaders, who are kind, respectful, hard-working, diligent and an overall great kid. This may not be the child that gets the best grades or is picked first at recess for a game, but this is someone that makes the teachers day a good one, even on the bad days, and someone that you would all be proud to represent your school outside of your walls.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The Concord High School Dollars for Scholars is seeking your support for a fundraiser to benefit student scholarships! Order Chipotle on Wednesday, April 12, and use the code J64FN8P for pickup, or show this flyer at the restaurant.
