America the only Midlands school to make all the lists!

- Important tips from Mr. Sumter:
- When interviewing for a job, your first appearance is
very important. Some employers will not hire you if you have
visible tattoos or nontraditional piercings. Truth of the matter is that not all customers like body art,
and the customer comes first. If you choose to get piercings or tattoos in visible areas, you run the
risk of not getting the job you really want. Have a safe summer.
- Attention Students: Guidelines are now set for students
who would like to get Work-Based Learning credit this summer.
Applications are due by June 18. Information:
