The showcase will be set up like a modern trade show, with each company hosting a booth and displaying technology and products. Students will have a chance to see the latest technology of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). In addition, the manufacturing students will demonstrate the CNC vertical machine as well as the new plasma table and CNC simulators at the GAVC/GHS location. With the renewed focus on vocational education, our goal is to provide first-class education and training on industry-leading hardware to high school students in our region.

Students will begin clincal's at Seminary Manor on Tuesday, October 30.  The Law Enforcement class has been conducting routine and felony traffic stops during the past few weeks. Students took part in mock traffic stops with the drivers education class. Students were given the opportunity to use the 10-codes and Galesburg emergency signal codes along with handcuffs as if it was a actual routine stop. Students have also started utilizing the gun belts,red guns and walkie talkies to conduct mock searches.
