Welcome Back
Career Center Campus
The four pillars of success that are embedded in everything we do at the Career Center Campus will remain the same.
Be Prepared- High School is full of meaningful opportunities, both academic and social. When one arises, be ready to learn, having a positive attitude and showing up everyday will ensure that you are prepared to enjoy all we have to offer at the Career Center Campus.
Be Polite-More often, how you do something is more important than what you do. At the Career Center Campus, we are polite to our peers, polite to our staff and polite to our visitors. Being polite is great way to make other people feel appreciated and comfortable around you.
Be Productive-Being productive means, "producing a significant amount of result." You wont pass a class or learn new skills if you don't engage in it. When you are productive, you get more things done which opens the door for more opportunities, When you get more things done, you achieve more, have less stress and more time or self-care.
Be Professional-Being professional is being reliable, setting your own standards, and showing that you care about every aspect of your time at the Career Center Campus. It is about being industrious, organized, and holding yourself accountable for your thoughts, words, and actions.
I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you! Let's make it a great year!

I grew up in Lubbock TX. I am 10 years older than my 2 younger brothers. I learned babysitting duties early on. My best school memories are attending Texas Tech University.
