PAHCC Makes Front Page News!

We featured on the front page of this week's Addison County Independent, highlighting two exciting developments for the 2026-2027 school year: the launch of our new Game Art & Animation track and the continued growth of Medical Professions.

The article explores how these programs are evolving to meet student interests, industry trends, and workforce needs while providing the hands-on, real-world learning experiences that define a PAHCC education.

We're grateful for the opportunity to share the innovative work happening across our campuses and the strong partnerships that help make it possible.

Congratulations to our 2026 concentrators!

Last week, students, families, staff, and community members gathered for PAHCC's Celebration of Learning to recognize the accomplishments of students across our Career Technical Education programs.

The evening was a chance to celebrate our students and all they have accomplished during their time at PAHCC, surrounded by the families, instructors, and community members who supported them along the way.

We are incredibly proud of each and every student and grateful to everyone who helped make the evening so special.

Medical Professions and Sustainable Agriculture students recently came together for a hands-on learning exchange, as MP1 students taught Stop the Bleed and hands-only CPR skills to their peers in Sustainable Agriculture.

Through this peer-led training, students gained practical, life-saving skills while building confidence in emergency response and communication. Experiences like this help students apply their learning in meaningful ways that extend beyond the classroom and into their future careers and communities.
