Graphic Communications
The Information Age has revolutionized the sixth largest industry in the country, Graphic Communications. The Graphic Communications program prepares students to enter this dynamic field that features opportunities locally and nationally. Students rotate through various areas of the program. Curriculum includes estimating, equipment and chemical safety, maintenance and management.
In addition to the unique opportunity to operate and manage the shop-run 'print on demand' copy center, seniors may also participate in the Cooperative Education program and work in a variety of printing establishments where they obtain valuable on-the-job training.
