Recently, Tri Star Career Compact held their annual Sophomore Visits and Open House.
Every December, sophomores, representing all nine Tri Star feeder districts, get an opportunity to try out Tri Star programs in which they are considering enrolling in. Unlike eighth grade tours where students get a brief taste of all Tri Star programs, during Sophomore Visits they must narrow down their choices to two. On their visit day, these sophomores will spend 50 minutes in each program. The idea is to give the students an opportunity to experience what a typical day is like as a Tri Star student. They learn what the expectations are for a program and what skills they can expect to learn.
This year the visits were postponed due to fog but on Thursday, December 8th Coldwater, Marion Local and and St. Henry sophomores paid their visit; followed on Friday, December 9th, by St. Marys, Minster, New Bremen sophomores. On Monday, December 12th, Celina, Fort Recovery, and New Knoxville sophomores visited Tri Star classes. All in all, over 530 students "tried out" Tri Star for a day.
The visits were followed by an Open House on the evening of December 12th. Open to anyone who wanted to see the building, the open house was especially designed to allow future students the chance to share with their parents what they hope to be learning at Tri Star.
Thanks to all who came out for both events!
