Students in the Building Construction class at Coopers Campus put their skills to work outside the classroom by building a new dugout for the Bradford School athletic field.

The project gives students hands-on experience in design, planning and construction, while also supporting school sports. It’s part of our commitment to real-world learning and community engagement.

Classes follow the New York State approved curriculum required for taking state licensing exams. The Barbering Program offers students the opportunity to practice their skills during regular classes and clinics.

Adult Education Students Honored at NYACCE Conference

Two remarkable students from GST BOCES Adult Education programs have been selected for recognition at the 2025 New York Association for Continuing and Community Education (NYACCE) conference in Albany, celebrating their resilience and achievement in the face of adversity.

Tanzania Page overcame homelessness, loss and personal hardship to earn her High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma. She continued her journey by becoming a certified Nurse Aide, working as a Teacher’s Aide at GST BOCES, and enrolling in college to study criminal justice. Nominated by instructor Samantha Cavallaro, Tanzania is now the first in her family to attend college and is dedicated to advocating for others.

Brayden Lower turned his life around after being expelled from high school and placed on probation. Through hard work, he earned his HSE diploma, joined the GST BOCES Welding program, and found employment—all while overcoming personal obstacles and lack of support. Brayden’s story is one of persistence and personal growth.

Both students were honored, along with GST BOCES literacy staff, at the NYACCE conference in April.
