partnership with business to supply them with a workforce to continue to ensure that our area business
prosper. “

unable to interest them to pursue a career in the industry, with this contribution, it enables Mishicot to
have that ability. Mishicot High School is very fortunate to have been chosen by D&S Machine Service to have this opportunity to provide more relevant educational experiences for their students.
Progress Lakeshore a partner with Mishicot School District stated that getting students to have hands on experience on the news equipment, shows the students how those skills may translate into a career, is imperative. Seeing this contribution of manufacturing equipment is a significant step in moving Mishicot High School forward as a leader in providing new innovative manufacturing education to our
community.
