When our 8th graders visit Daniel Morgan Technology Center, their eyes are always opened to new career opportunities that they can begin training for as soon as they enter high school. Did you know that Daniel Morgan has increased their offerings to include training for a commercial drivers license! We want our students to live with purposeful work and wages where they can provide for themselves and their future families. These career offerings certainly are a pathway to that.
