Danish Students Visit Berea Community! 🇩🇰

Today, Berea Community welcomed a wonderful group of students from Denmark, who spent the day shadowing our students and experiencing our daily school life firsthand.

This marks our 13th annual visit through our valued partnership with Han Herred Efterskole. Each year, this exchange also gives our students the incredible opportunity to travel abroad and experience life and learning in Denmark.

We are so proud to be part of such a meaningful and unique program, and we look forward to welcoming a new group of students each year.

Thank you to Ms. Caldwell and all the staff and administrators who help make this special experience possible!

We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to our community partners, Whitaker Bank and The Okonite Company, for their continued support of our FCCLA program! Their generous donations are helping fund our students’ trip to the FCCLA State Leadership Conference in Louisville at the end of March, an experience focused on building leadership skills and career readiness.
