🔥 Safety in Action at GLCA! 🧯

The County Safety Task Force recently met at GLCA, bringing local safety professionals together right here on our campus.

The meeting wrapped up with a hands-on fire extinguisher safety demonstration, and our Criminal Justice students had the opportunity to get involved and put those skills into practice.

Experiences like this give our students the chance to learn alongside professionals, build practical skills, and make connections between the classroom and the careers they’re preparing to enter.

Hands-on learning. Real-world skills. Career Ready. 💪

💈 Meet Rocky Young, our Barbering instructor! 💈

For Rocky, mentorship means remembering the people and experiences that helped you get where you are—and making sure you reach back to help someone else along the way.

That mindset is especially powerful in a career like barbering, where skills, knowledge, and experience are often passed from one professional to the next.
