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. All field trip details will be handled at school through the guidance offices. Parents do not need to contact us directly for this event.
*If you do not attend one of these schools but are interested in learning more, please see the bottom of this page.
