Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center

The Vice Principle? with the hair that looks like blonde ramen noodles is a total witch with a b and was supremely unliked by both students and staff when I attended, not just for her RBF and horrible attitude towards the students she clearly looked down upon and didn't care about educating, but also her laughably wacky enforcement of Fort Hayes "special dress codes". The special dress codes of this school were probably the stupidest thing I experienced, next to being pulled out of my entire second half of the school day classes because a pair of shoes that was fine for me to wear at my home school was deemed against the dress code for Fort Hayes. The shoes were barely even considered "sandals" yet because the nursing students or HVAC students have specialized dress codes, the shoes I was wearing on my feet that were fine all day were deemed too inappropriate for me to even be allowed to attend class. A dress code they claim is to establish "professionalism" despite the only reason I attended the career center was for the Art Portfolio program to better establish my skills as a freelance artist, a job that doesn't require a dress code nor requires me to wear certain shoes to establish my "professionalism" to judgmental strangers I wouldn't be working with to begin with. Not the most laughable or out-of-touch thing I've experienced at CCS, but it certainly did reinforce my distaste for the district, their unreasonable performative policies, and the staff members CCS routinely hires who seem to hate the youth they're controlling more than they're there to actually help them further their education. As a Fort Hayes alumni for a few years now into my career, the most valuable thing I got from attending the Career Center at Fort Hayes was the access to downtown after school and being able to bare witness to the discrepancy between the way CCS as a district treats this school and CAHS vs. it's smaller schools that are outside of Downtown and thus don't get as many visits or recognition from the media or the schoolboard. Outside of this, I didn't gain anything from the school or the program that I couldn't have learned myself, except a further disdain for our so-called "education system" and districts like CCS that care more about performative policies and "keeping kids in line" like they're little prisoners rather than actually forming relationships with the students they're there for. If you're ever looking for a place on campus to smoke in between classes though, it's extremely easy to find quite a few spots, and Noodlehead is usually way too busy biting the heads off of students and living an underwhelming adult life to even notice you went off of campus for a bit. Good luck!

i want to there because that my dream school

I graduated from this school some years ago and I can say that my experience was nothing amazing. This school is good for students who has already made their mind up about their career choices. My biggest problem about Fort Hayes is the management. From the main principal down to the 4 administrators, they were so worried about the "image" of Fort Hayes that they failed to connect with the students on a personal level. The biggest bright side and the main reason I didn't rate it 1 star is because of the teachers. Every department has great teachers here. The student driven teachers are of the best in the district. Special props to Ms. Imamura and Mr. Calhoun.

I want to go to Fort Hayes when I enter Career Center. *edit*: I ended up not getting accepted to career center but I'm glad I didn't. I moved to CCHS where I meet my bff. Anyways this career center isn't that bad from what I heard from my friends.

My daughter really wants to go here. Its a beautiful school. Better than the school that she goes to now.

The career center is a cool place.
