Saranac Lake High School and North Country Community College teamed up and were the recipients of a three-year, $150,000 “ADK Connect” grant from the Adirondack Community Foundation that funds college and career readiness. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports the grant is premised on a “college and career” approach. SLCSD Superintendent Diane Fox said this doesn’t necessarily mean students have to go to college before getting a job, or vice versa. Rather, it’s an acknowledgment that the skill set needed to succeed at college is largely the same as what’s needed to advance in the workplace
