The Taylorville High School freshman class got a peek into their futures last Wednesday when they toured Lincoln Land Community College and the Capital Area Career Center.

Taylorville High School Assistant Principal Eric Bruder says the school’s administration felt the trip was important to help show freshman the importance of thinking about their life after high school sooner rather than later.

Bruder attended the trip alongside the freshman class. He says the students overwhelming viewed the experience as positive, and feels the school might even expand the trip in the future to allow students to have more time to explore both campuses.

The school continues to expand its course offerings through classes at Lincoln Land and the Capital Area Career Center.
