CTE is in the news! Last Thursday, The Macomb Daily featured our unique and robust Manufacturing Tech class and new instructor, Mike Winter. Many of our students are pictured learning necessary skills for lifelong careers with our business partners and more. This is just one way our LHS SMTEC students are showing off their readiness skills.
Our students in Ms. Lipiec's Dental Assistant program were able to work with Detroit Mercy Dental last Tuesday, where students were taught how to do dental impressions from university level dental students. It was a great experience and clearly brought out lots of beautiful smiles!

Good evening, Van Dyke Community. There's a need to clear up a rumor that is floating around on social media. The real facts are here:
Today, we had a brief, less than ten minute lockdown at Lincoln Elementary so that the Warren PD could investigate a call they received. The report was false and there was no suspect in or near our schools. Everyone is safe and tomorrow will again be business as usual.
Hey there, VDPS Community! Are you ready to come show your school spirit this evening? We'll start with our Homecoming Parade at 5:30 around the Lincoln area, starting at the Auditorium and heading down to Studebaker, then back up to our CTE building. The big game will follow against the alma mater of our Superintendent, the Hazel Park Vikings. Come on out and support the Lincoln Abes. We'll see you there!
