Yesterday our CCP Anatomy and Forensic Science students had an incredible opportunity at Cleveland State University, where they participated in a cadaver lab experience. This hands-on learning allowed students to explore human anatomy in a real-world setting and deepen their understanding of the concepts they study in the classroom.

Two United Local High School seniors signed to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level.

Kadin Schonauer will be playing baseball at Muskingum College, where he will major in Sports Management.

Tyler Wood will be playing football at Geneva College and plans to major in Criminal Justice.

We congratulate Kadin and Tyler on this exciting next chapter!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
The Royal Banquet approaches with splendor and cheer,
Yet hark! The time for reserving thy seat draws near!
But three days remain, good subjects, take heed,
To secure thy invite with utmost speed!
When February's twenty-eighth doth come to pass,
The gates to ticket sales shall close— alas!
