WHCL Gets CTE Grant- Books, Conferences, & Counselors!
WHC Lemoore was awarded a grant in July that will allow us to add many services to the T.E.A.M. Teach project. The focus is on developing and recruiting students who are interested in teaching in the CTE fields (Agriculture, Business, Public Service, Culinary, Health Careers) and an additional emphasis on future Math and Science teachers. Even though the grant is CTE-related it will improve the services for all T.E.A.M. Teach members. In the next few months you will see the following:

FPU Connection- T.E.A.M. Teachers Travelin’ the Pipeline and Future Opportunities
August was a historic month for the Fresno Pacific/West Hills College Lemoore partnership as the first cohort group started the 18 month degree completion program in Liberal Studies. These 15 students transferred into the program with 70 units, they will meet for class 1 night a week for the next 18 months on the WHCL campus, and then they will receive their B.A. degree in Liberal Studies from Fresno Pacific University. Another cohort group will start in January (B.A. in Child Development) and MaryJo Burchard from Fresno Pacific University has been inquiring if we have enough students to start another Liberal Studies cohort group in January. If you are interested in the program and starting in January please e-mail me and I will pass the information on to MaryJo. You can also make an appointment with her in the administration building and meet with her personally.
