Welcome to Polaris Career Center!

As the 11th superintendent of Polaris Career Center, I am honored to lead this incredible institution during such an exciting time. Our communities are embracing career-technical education like never before, recognizing Polaris as a vital regional hub for workforce and economic development. Together, we’re forging stronger relationships with our partner school districts and expanding opportunities for students of all ages.

Polaris is growing! We’re proud to serve more students than ever and are thrilled to announce the launch of a NEW ERA for our campus. In the fall of 2026, we’ll unveil a cutting-edge, 28,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing wing. This state-of-the-art addition will feature three new high school programs—Engineering Technology, Robotics and Automation (ERA), and a new Aesthetician program for adult learners.

While we focus on the future, we also honor our past. In August 2025, Polaris will celebrate its 50th anniversary, a milestone that reflects decades of dedication to student success and innovation. As we commemorate this achievement, we’ll chart a bold new path with a commitment to:

• Student-first initiatives

• Innovative programming and career development

• Collaborative partnerships

We are deeply thankful for our students, families, community members, business partners and friends. Your support fuels our vision for an exciting and impactful future.

Let’s continue working together to inspire success and unlock limitless potential.
