Students touring the auto workshop at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton.

Students from DLHS & DLALC went to the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton. The morning consisted of a campus tour where they learned about the many programs they offer. In the afternoon, they attended a career fair with over 200 booths! Students played a bingo game while they visited booths and learned more about companies that employ NDSCS graduates. It was fun to see the students step out of their comfort zone and interact with professionals. 

Chief Hanson talking to  students.

DLHS students would like to give a big Thank You to DL Fire Chief Mike Hanson and two of his volunteer firefighters for hosting an exploring post at the fire station last night. The students learned how to become a fire and rescue professional and had the opportunity to suit up and use the "Jaws of Life" in an egg shuttle challenge. It was very educational and fun for the students. We are grateful to have such a competent and skilled fire department in Detroit Lakes.
