Lewis County Schools has received a significant boost in the form of a $50,000 Perkins Reserve Grant designated for the 2025-2026 academic year. This funding is set to play a crucial role in the enhancement of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs across the district.
The grant aims to support students as they embark on career paths in various skilled trades, culinary arts, information technology, and several other fields. By facilitating the acquisition of industry-recognized certifications, the funding will empower students to gain valuable credentials that can enhance their employability. Furthermore, it will bolster existing educational programs and provide additional resources necessary for equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in the workforce.
This initiative underscores the commitment of Lewis County Schools to prepare its students for successful futures in a rapidly evolving job market.
