Our students visited the Hornell Fire Department and got an up-close look at LifeNets medical helicopter in action! From flight nurses and pilots to EMTs and paramedics, students practiced intubation and IO placements while learning about these exciting medical careers that may be in their futures! 🩺💪
This hands-on experience gave them a new appreciation for the teamwork, skill, and dedication it takes to save lives every day. ❤️
Last week, our New Visions Innovation, Leadership & Business students from Coopers Campus took to Market Street for a behind-the-scenes tour with local business owner Barry Nicholson.
From entrepreneurship insights to leadership lessons, Mr. Nicholson shared valuable guidance and real-world perspective that inspired our future business leaders.
A huge thank you to Mr. Nicholson for opening his doors and sharing his expertise — experiences like this bring classroom learning to life! 👏 #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCEScollaboration #GSTBOCESpartnerships
We provide students with hands-on opportunities like mock interviews, classroom speakers, career shadows, and regional events, giving them a chance to explore careers, understand the education or training required, and learn the skills needed to succeed in each profession.

Our students had an incredible experience learning about the cardiovascular system from LECOM medical students. They explored how the heart pumps blood, the flow through vessels, and how lifestyle choices impact heart health. 💓
Our students had the opportunity to visit the Elmira College Speech and Hearing Clinic, where they learned how professionals help patients improve speech, language, and hearing skills. From practicing assessments to exploring diagnostic tools, students gained valuable insight into careers in speech-language pathology and audiology. 💬✨
Our students put their PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) skills to the test using Nutella to simulate contamination at the Corning Community College Nursing Program! They learned just how important it is to properly don and doff gloves, gowns, and masks to prevent the spread of germs — and had a little fun in the process!
Hands-on learning (without the real mess!) helps students see why infection control is so essential in healthcare. 🩺✨
The New Visions students and staff on the Wildwood Campus had a wonderful time collaborating with High City School District and spending the day with their amazing Pre-K and 2nd grade students at the Schwartz Pumpkin Patch!
We teamed up with PE Teacher Mr. Johnson from the Wildwood Campus, who built an incredible pumpkin catapult and even created frog and pumpkin targets! He also hand-crafted a tree that puffed out “smog,” which was another big favorite among the kids and added an extra touch of fun to the day! Thank you, Mr. Johnson — these were definitely a hit!
Our New Visions students brought the excitement with face painting, games, a pumpkin trebuchet, and a pumpkin launcher. Some of our high school seniors even showed up in costume, adding an extra touch of fall magic to the day.
Of course, no fall adventure is complete without fresh cider and donuts—the perfect treat after all the activities! Thank you, Lains Cider Mill for the generous donation!
A huge thank you to the Schwartz Family who made this event such a memorable and joy-filled experience for everyone.
Our students had the amazing opportunity to visit a local medical school and experience what life as a medical student is really like. From touring the school to talking with current med students and faculty, they gained valuable insight into the hard work, dedication, and passion it takes to pursue a career in medicine.
We’re so proud of their curiosity and excitement for learning — the future of healthcare is bright! 🌟
Students in our Wildwood Campus Cosmetology program dove into the world of Paul Mitchell color lines this week during an introductory course on color theory. 🎨 From exploring professional color products to understanding how tones and formulas come together, our future stylists are building the foundation for vibrant, successful careers in the beauty industry.
Hands-on learning today — colorful futures tomorrow!

This week, our School Library System hosted the 25–26 SLS Kickoff event, “BEE in the Library,” featuring the amazing Lindsay Cesari!

It was a day filled with collaboration, creativity, and of course—books! 📚 Everyone left buzzing with ideas (and a new book to take back to their school!). 🐝✨

Can you build a tool that can grab an egg from 10 inches away — without cracking it? Our New Visions Engineering students at the Wildwood Campus said, “challenge accepted!”
Using just popsicle sticks, rubber bands, cardboard, scissors, string, glue, tape, and a few other supplies, teams designed and built expandable tools that could open, close, and carry the heaviest egg safely into their basket.
This hands-on activity tested their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills — and definitely got a few laughs along the way!
Swipe through to see our engineers in action and some of the egg-cellent designs they came up with!
The event provided students with the opportunity to experience a real-life job interview with essential feedback on their cover letters, resumes, how to answer questions and much more.
