College & Career Visitors in September
September was a busy month for college and career exploration at Vassar! Our students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from a variety of colleges, universities, and organizations to learn more about their future options.
This month, we welcomed visitors from Mid Michigan School of Cosmetology, Ironworkers Union Local 25, Saginaw Valley State University, Kettering University, Lawrence Technological University, Grand Valley State University and Western Michigan University. Representatives from the National Guard and U.S. Marines also joined us during lunches to talk with students about military pathways.
We’re grateful to all of these organizations for taking the time to speak with our students and help them explore their college and career options!

Hello Vulcans!
For the late start days, buses will run their regular routesl; however, they will run 2 hours later than normal. For example, if your normal pick-up time is 7:15 a.m., it will be 9:15 a.m on late start days.
The AM tech buses will be leaving at 7:50 am in order to allow enough time for the buses to get students to the tech center and return to Vassar to pick up the regular route students. Please make sure your AM tech students arrive early to the High School in time to get on the tech buses.
