In that process, it is my pleasure and joy to share with community members our school mission.
What's your favorite story about your time at CLHS?
Just this fall I met one of my career internship student's mentor and while receiving a tour of the department at Parkview Regional Medical Center, I was introduced to several of her colleagues. It just so happens, I was introduced (and reunited) with a former career internship student of mine! It was delightfully fun to see and hear first hand the successful educational path of that student and her gainful employment here in Fort Wayne at PRMC doing what she loves to do! Her engagement in the career internship program made a positive difference, and now she can influence young people in their educational and career paths.
