🐾 Bettendorf High School students recently attended Vet Tech Day at the Muscatine Agriculture Learning Center!

Students had the opportunity to explore the world of veterinary technology through hands-on experiences and interactive learning. They watched a live surgery, toured classrooms, and rotated through activities including animal CPR, IV and blood draw simulations, ultrasound, dental exams, and more.

Current students in the Vet Tech Program were also on hand to answer questions and share insight into their experiences and coursework. Thank you to the Muscatine Agriculture Learning Center for providing such an engaging opportunity for our students to explore careers in animal science and veterinary medicine! 🩺🐶🐴

BHS students attended the Blackhawk College Law Enforcement and First Responder Career Fair, where they connected with local law enforcement and first responder agencies to explore career opportunities and learn about the roles and responsibilities within the field.

Students also participated in mini sessions featuring simulations, discussions on how AI is transforming criminal justice, and conversations about the impact of social media on police work. Great real-world learning opportunities for our students!
