🥤 Coke vs. Pepsi: The Ultimate Taste Test!

Our Principles of Business Management students explored the concept of direct competition by learning about the long-standing rivalry between Coca-Cola and Pepsi, dating back to the late 1800s!

After learning about these two iconic brands, students put their knowledge to the test with a Coke vs. Pepsi taste challenge! They tried to identify each soda and decide which one they preferred.

Who knew learning about business competition could be so refreshing? 😄

Our WACC Construction, Welding, and Machining students joined schools from across Northern Indiana at the annual building trades event in Warsaw! 🦺🔨

Students had the opportunity to learn about union apprenticeship programs and how they can build lifelong career skills while earning a wage and receiving benefits.

Hands-on demonstration stations showcased framing, welding, and other building trades. Students also connected with future employers and industry vendors to learn more about career opportunities in the field.

And, of course, the event included a cookout lunch! 🌭

We appreciate the opportunity for our students to explore careers, make industry connections, and see the many possibilities available to them after graduation. Great job, WACC students! 👏

Mrs. Lancaster’s Advanced Social & Community Service class spent some time at The Willow enjoying a wonderful time with the seniors! ❤️
Students played games, visited, laughed, shared stories, and simply enjoyed each other’s company. It was a great reminder that meaningful connections and time spent together can make someone’s day a little brighter.
We love seeing our students giving back to our community and building relationships along the way! 💙
