EAST LIVERPOOL For more than 50 years, East Liverpool City Schools has offered vocational education opportunities within its walls rather than just pushing post-secondary education.
According to Ryan Willis, associate principal of East Liverpool High School, 70 percent of all graduating seniors participate in the district’s Career Tech program that is offered cost free to its juniors and seniors.
Other districts within Columbiana County have to send their students to the county’s Career and Technical Center in Lisbon, where they can study unique offerings such as culinary careers, precision machining and veterinary science.
