LISD TECH Center -

🎉 Congratulations to the 23 LISD TECH Center students who were honored at this week’s Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) Pinning Ceremony! Held on campus April 15, the ceremony recognized the hard work, compassion, and commitment of students from across Lenawee County as they step into the healthcare field. Earlier this year, an additional 28 students from the Nursing Prep Program were celebrated at a similar event. We’re proud of each of these future healthcare professionals and all they’ve accomplished! #LISDTECH #LenaweeEducation #CareerReady
