EXPLORE PENTA

          The 56th senior class at Penta Career Center was honored May 18, 19 and 20, 2021 during abbreviated  Senior Recognition ceremonies on the Penta campus.  This year, 730 seniors from Penta’s on campus and satellite programs completed career-technical programs and received Career Passports through Penta.  During the Senior Recognition activities, the Outstanding Student Award was announced in which 42 seniors were recognized based on performance and excellence in their individual career-technical program.  See below for the list of seniors who earned the 2021 Penta Outstanding Student Award.  

       Penta Career Center students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) during a ceremony on March 25, 2021.  This year 11 students were honored for their career-technical achievements.   

      The NTHS is similar to the National Honor Society at comprehensive high schools where students are recognized for scholarship, leadership, service, and character.  Membership in the NTHS at Penta requires students to maintain excellent attendance, good behavior and a 3.5 overall grade point average.  In addition, inductees must meet the seven attributes of NTHS (skills, honesty, service, responsibility, scholarship, citizenship, and leadership).  

     Per the March 11, 2021 letter from Superintendent Edward Ewers, Penta Career Center will return to Schedule 1 beginning March 16, 2021.  As a reminder, Schedule 1 is when all students report to campus Tuesday - Friday with Monday being a remote learning day. The schedule change was approved by the Penta Board of Education on March 10, 2021.  This move by the Board is, in many ways, based on our local data related to COVID cases, as well as the modification to the quarantine rules released by the Wood County Health Department. Further details of the health department's updated guidance can be found on our website at https://www.pentacareercenter.org/Announcements.aspx

    

 

Although we could not conduct our annual Patriot Day Ceremony live due to limitations on gatherings during the pandemic, we pre-recorded the ceremony and it is now posted here for viewing.  Thank you to the Criminal Justice and Firefighter students and staff for organizing the ceremony.  Special thanks to the students and staff in our Digital Video Production program for videotaping the ceremony.  #WeWillNeverForget

     During the August 5, 2020 Penta Career Center Board of Education meeting, the board approved the Restart Plan for the 2020-2021 school year which will be an alternating day format reducing the building capacity by 50 percent and only having students on campus four days a week.  The Penta Board also modified the school calendar pushing the start date from August 17 & 18 to August 20 & 21.  The Penta Restart Plan will have all students from Wood County schools (Bowling Green, Eastwood, Elmwood, Lake, North Baltimore, Northwood, Otsego, Perrysburg, and Rossford) on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week with the first day of school set for Thursday, August 20.  Students from all the other member schools (Anthony Wayne, Benton Carroll Salem, Genoa, Maumee, Springfield, Swanton, and Woodmore) will attend school on Wednesdays and Fridays with a start date of Friday, August 21.  The other three days of school will be remote learning.  All instructional staff are required to report to campus five days a week.
