We celebrated the IRESA Tech Center’s Student Leadership Council! 🎉🎓 These students help our staff through the school year with school improvement and helping set up our events. These leaders serve as tour guides for our 8th and 10th grade tours as well 🧭👥.
Our AM students had McDonald’s for breakfast 🍳🍔. Our PM students had Hungry Howies pizza 🍕😋. Students were also treated with a cake decorating class taught by the students in our very own Culinary program 👩🍳👨🍳.
It was a fun way to celebrate the hard work of our student leaders! We appreciate all of their efforts! 💚🙌

The Teacher Prep Academy cadets participated in a classroom door decorating contest. Host teachers gave the cadets a theme to work around.
The educators and students at the tech center then voted on the most creative door. Lavender Duby of Oscoda was the winner with her America inspired door! Great job Lavender! 🇺🇸👏

They had the amazing opportunity to visit Visions, where they learned all about proper hair care while being treated to a full pampering experience—wash, cut, and style! 💖✂️ Some students even enjoyed getting their nails done.
A huge THANK YOU to the incredible stylists at Visions for welcoming our students and making them feel so special. Your kindness and time made a lasting impact! 🌟

🚌💙 Today we celebrate Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to give a special shoutout to a group we truly appreciate—our drivers who transport students to our special education center.
What they do goes far beyond getting students from point A to point B. They show patience, compassion, and understanding every single day. They build trust with students who may need extra time, extra care, and extra encouragement. They adapt to unique needs, navigate challenges, and create a safe, welcoming start and end to each student’s day. 🏫
Their commitment stretches across a large area, covering four school districts throughout Iosco County—navigating long distances in all types of conditions. No matter what they face, they show up ready to serve with consistency and care.
Thank you for your dedication, your kindness, and the heart you bring to your work. You make a difference in ways that really matter. ✨

The Iosco RESA Career & Tech Center proudly hosted its annual Open House on Thursday, April 2nd—and despite the pouring rain, we had an incredible turnout! 🌧️✨
Guests had the opportunity to enjoy amazing food from Jeff at Main Street BBQ, who was on-site all afternoon with his food truck offering delicious options. It was a huge hit!
We were also honored to host the local CASBA meeting that afternoon. School board members and administrators from across the region had the opportunity to tour our programs ahead of their meeting.
Adding to the excitement, WKJC Radio broadcasted live from the event, featuring interviews with our superintendent, staff, and students!
Our programs truly shined throughout the event. The Culinary class wowed visitors with a cake decorating demonstration and even gave guests the chance to make their own pickles. Meanwhile, our Business class hosted a fun Easter egg hunt, with gift baskets thoughtfully put together by students. Every program played a part in highlighting the hands-on learning and opportunities available to our students.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support us—we loved sharing what makes our CTE Center so special! 💚
