St. Lawrence is proud to offer students the opportunity to take part in one of two Specialist High Skills Majors being offered next year. SHSMs are a customized package of senior courses, experiential learning and certification programs that allows a student to build a foundation of knowledge and skills in a particular area of interest. It allows students to refine career goals by taking part in “reach ahead” activities. Additional certifications relating to the SHSM will be offered, like CPR and First Aid, Service Excellence, Smart Serve and WHMIS. Students will then have an opportunity to complete a Cooperative Education experience in their chosen field. Upon completion of all the components, the student will receive a SHSM seal on his/her diploma, and a record of his/her achievement to share with potential employers. Our hospitality and physical education areas have recently undergone major upgrades allowing our staff and students the pleasure of working with state of the art equipment.
