Since 1993 Penta Career Center has recognized the outstanding achievements of our alumni. They are truly exceptional examples of success in their chosen career paths. Although each reached his or her career destination through training in different programs, each share one thing in common -a belief that Penta Career Center was instrumental to their personal and professional success.
Many of our alumni often mention how Penta was the turning point in their life. By attending Penta, they learned a skill that prepared them for a lifelong career or helped them further their education. They also speak of the dedication of the Penta staff who helped them build a solid foundation so they could succeed in their careers.
Community service is another distinguishing characteristic of our outstanding alumni. Many of our alumni come back to Penta and serve on advisory committees. It's also nice to see our former students volunteering their time for various community organizations and groups. Whether it's being a little league baseball coach, a volunteer
for a nonprofit organization, or being an active member of a local community group, our alumni are dedicated to the communities in which they live and work.
As each year passes and more students graduate from Penta, it's satisfying to see that we are making a difference in the lives of our students. The successes and accomplishments of our alumni are the best affirmations that we as teachers and administrators can receive.
Congratulations to all of our outstanding alumni !
