High School Presentations

Late October/Early November  |  Local Partner Schools

WCCC student ambassadors will visit the local high schools and present to all sophomores and share all about what WCCC has to offer, their journey, and answer any questions! Students will have the opportunity to sign up for the Sophomore Explore field trip to visit WCCC campuses with their school in mid-November. 

We will visit our partner schools, which are Franklin, Kings, Lebanon, Little Miami, Springboro, and Waynesville. If you're interested in WCCC but do not attend one of these schools, please visit us during our Open House or contact us with specific questions.
