With the 2024-25 academic year underway, we are excited to announce Bobbi Jo Stoner as the new Principal of the Career Connect Campus.

The campus will be the future home to a world-class Career & Technical Education (CTE) program serving students in Kalamazoo County. This vision, which has been over seven years in the making, is coming to fruition thanks to the generosity of the local community and multiple business and industry partners.  

The Career Connect Campus is currently under construction, located at 3500 Vanrick Drive, next to Wings Event Center. It will officially open its doors to incoming students in August 2025. 

The local community will have an opportunity to tour the newly constructed state-of-the-art building at the Career Connect Campus Grand Opening Celebration on May 22, 2025.

A message from the Career Connect Campus Principal:

With 25 years of experience in public education, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of career and technical education.
