Geri Finch, Coconino County Tech Prep

For the past two years, Sinagua High School Accounting I and Accounting II students have taken a field trip to the Coconino Community College campus. It is a chance for the students to explore the varied learning opportunities available to them at a community college. Students range in age from sophomores to seniors.

During their visit to CCC, students were given a gift bag filled with great “stuff” like a calculator, an accordion file organizer and a supply pouch to take back to school with them.

Students were given an orientation in
part by Catherine Peterson of CCC.

A tour of the campus included the photo lab, a ceramics and water painting class in progress was observed, the biology lab, library and the computer lab. The tour also included the day care facility and an orientation of some of the class room technology.

The tour was very well received and is a favorite for these accounting students each year. Many of the students indicated how nice it is to know that such a great facility was here for them, and that as a result of the tour, they look forward to attending classes at CCC in the near future.
