MASCOUTAH – Rep. Mike Bost recently toured Mascoutah High School’s new Career Center, an ongoing expansion project, and the recently completed Veterans Park sports complex, highlighting opportunities for students to prepare for careers in the trades.
Rep. Bost said the Career Center stood out during his visit. The center provides a hands-on learning environment where students can develop skills in construction, electrical work, plumbing, and other trades.
“These are the kinds of opportunities that prepare young people for good-paying jobs without necessarily requiring four-year college degrees,” Bost said.
The visit included a look at the school’s expansion project and the completed sports complex. Bost described the developments as an investment in young people and the region.
“Investing in the next generation is how we build a stronger future for Southern Illinois,” he said.
