GREETINGS FROM
DR. KIMBERLY J. SCHNEIDER, SUPERINTENDENT
|
 It's hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us. The start of the year has been a most exciting one as we welcomed 21 ninth graders into the inaugural class of the STEM Academy. We also announced the launch of an Academy of Culinary Arts which will start in September 2016 at the Sypek Center. In November, the General Advisory Committee awarded Chez Alice Catering Company of Pennington with the 2015 Business Partner of the Year Award. We're looking forward to an even more exciting 2016! |

District Launches Academy of Culinary Arts in Fall 2016
|
The Mercer County Technical School District announces the launch of a full-time, four-year Academy of Culinary Arts in September 2016. The Academy of Culinary Arts, located at the Arthur R. Sypek Center in Pennington, will provide Mercer County high school students with an academically challenging and rigorous curriculum. Students will work toward the completion of Mercer County Community College credits and industry credentials while in high school. By senior year, all students will take college classes and spend their entire school day on the West Windsor campus of Mercer County Community College. In addition, student learning will be enhanced through key business partnerships allowing for multiple workplace readiness and experiential learning opportunities. Learn more.

Auto Students Get Cars Running for Needy Families
|
| When the cars are donated to the church, they are typically in need of repair. The church has a garage where volunteers help with basic repairs and maintenance. When it comes to more significant repairs, Arthur R. Sypek Center students get the work. Last spring, the Automotive Technology Fundamentals students spent three weeks replacing the transmission on one of the church's vehicles. "It's a win - win situation because the church only needed to purchase the transmission and the labor is taken care of by the students. It's a great training exercise, but also a real life situation to repair a customer's car," says William Park, Automotive Technology Fundamentals Instructor. Learn more. |
 While most students look forward to hitting the beach in the summer, Aparna Naik of Pennington spent last summer at Kean University's Group Summer Scholars Research Program. For six weeks, Aparna commuted 90-minutes each way so she could conduct computational biology research from 9 am to 4 pm. By the end of the program, Aparna was among a group of eight students named as Dean's scholars. Aparna's group studied the human genome through learning about biology, computer science, and bioinformatics. Specifically, the purpose of her research project was to find new transcribed regions in the human genome. Coding, basic Java programming and data analysis are some of the skills Aparna obtained. Most importantly, she learned about the real-life applications to her research. Aside from the research conducted, Aparna is grateful for the opportunity to grow both socially and intellectually. By networking with twenty-four student researchers from around New Jersey and Kean's faculty, she learned a lot about professionalism and dedication. Learn more. |
