Delaware Area Career Center

Course designer Paul Grimes said, “Students today have not climbed trees, caught crayfish, made mud pies, placed grasshoppers in a spider’s web, pressed flowers, or eaten apples they picked from a tree. They are environmentally deficient. How will they make good stewards of the Earth if they have never experienced it?”

Grimes teaches at Buckeye Valley High School and travels extensively to add to his knowledge base. He has traveled to Brazil and Costa Rica to study the rain forest, and organizes a yearly trip to Key Largo for his Marine Biology students to study the aquatic environment.

Although the Delaware Area Career Center is willing to enroll next year’s juniors and seniors in the initial year of the course, the Environmental Technologies program is designed to span two years. The second year, students will participate in a co-op program in their field of choice, while also completing a research project that is both scientifically oriented and community based.

Grimes hopes the new program will enjoy collaboration with colleges and universities, and partnerships with local businesses. He plans to offer environmental symposiums and tours, build a green building site, and complete wind and solar powered electricity studies.
“I am excited to have the opportunity to make the Delaware Area Career Center and Buckeye Valley greener while saving them money,” said Grimes.

Interested students can learn more on Thursday at the Delaware Area Career Center’s Open House. Grimes will be available to answer questions at the South Campus at 4565 Columbus Pike from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
