We are incredibly grateful to the Grand Ledge Lions Club, Grand Ledge Family Dentistry, and Elliott’s Grandma Terry for their generous donations. Because of your support, two of our Law Enforcement students (Elliott Bouck and Micah Galliver) are heading to the SkillsUSA Washington Leadership Training Institute this September! 💪

This trip is a huge opportunity for our students to develop leadership skills and represent our CTE programs on a national stage. We couldn’t do it without neighbors like you. Thank you for investing in the future of our students!

We are so proud of our students and so thankful for this community. ❤️

Eaton RESA Aviation Careers Institute (ACI) students connected with Dr. Surya S. C. Congress and Judd Herzer from Michigan State University's Mobility Research and Innovation Department to learn how drone technology is used to survey infrastructure, assess safety, and create detailed 3D renderings of roads, railways and bridges.

This experience gave ACI students a look at another career pathway that goes far beyond the cockpit, showing the powerful intersection of aviation and engineering in the real world.
