Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News, November 11, 2024, Pawsitive Learning: Hilhi’s Grooming Lab Empowers Future Animal Care Experts
Manage episode 449011633 series 3382288
Students in the Veterinary Science program at Hilhi recently launched an innovative grooming lab in a school-based enterprise model as part of their new Animal Care lab course.
Designed to emulate a professional pet salon, the lab allows students to apply their classroom knowledge in a practical, hands-on environment, moving from theory to real-world implementation. It opened with a soft-launch this fall, in which school staff were invited to bring in their family pets for grooming. This allowed students to experience what it’s like to interact with actual clients and manage the needs of animals in a grooming setting.
This unique opportunity not only enhances students’ technical skills in animal care and grooming, but also introduces them to the operational aspects of running an animal service business. Through this course, Hilhi is empowering students with industry-relevant skills and positioning them for success in veterinary science and related fields.
The Vet Science program at Hilhi is offered on the CCP Shuttle and is open to students across the district.
