Millie Girl
learned
that she was
accepted into
the cosmetology program
offered through her high school.
YAY!!!
Here are a few highlights as to why there is cause for celebration: There are about 45 students accepted into the program from eight different high schools. The cosmetology program is offered through Birdville Independent School District, but our Keller District students are allowed to apply to take classes at the Birdville Center of Technology.
In addition to Cosmetology, the tech center offers many other diverse programs for its high school students like: AV Production; Architecture; Automotive Tech; Computer Maintenance; Law, Public Safety and Corrections; Culinary Arts; Engineering; and Health Science. This specialized school is housed in a building that is only about five years old, so everything there is state-of-the-art. We were so impressed with the facility and the faculty. We feel that our girlie is very fortunate to get to go here.
The majority of the students come from the host's four high schools, but each of the four Keller schools each have four students admitted. Our girl was one of the four selected from her school. (There were about 15 girls from Millie's class of 650-ish who applied and interviewed for a coveted position in this program.)
Beginning in August, Millie will travel about eight miles to the neighboring school district's technology center. She will need to leave the house a little after 6AM every morning. After several hours of training, she will then go to her high school for an afternoon of regular classes -- Reading, Writing, and 'Rithmatic! And Art and History.
This is a two-year program that will allow our beauty schooler to take the state board upon graduation. She says that she plans on working at a salon, once she starts college so she can make $ while she takes classes. This girlie has a neatly styled plan all laid out. And I'm not teasing.
We are soooo happy that she will get to get a jump-start on doing what she loves. Our daughter will only be sixteen when she starts the program, so she will have her cosmetology license when she's 18. And since we will only pay a fraction of the cost of a traditional cosmetology program, our bank account will be pretty happy, too!
Once Millie Girl starts her own business, she will need a name for her salon. Send us your suggestions. We think we will pass on these following offerings.
