Aspiring Hairstylist Feels Prepared for Workforce
Haley McGregor is a senior from Kenmore West High School and is enrolled in the Cosmetology program at Erie 1 BOCES Kenton Career and Technical Center.
“I enrolled in BOCES because I’ve always been interested in doing hair as a career,” Haley said.
In the fall of 2021, following graduation, Haley plans on working in a salon.
Under the instruction of Maria Guarino, Haley has learned about hair color, skin care, hair design, and more.
“Haley is an excellent student. She excels in all areas of the Cosmetology program,” said Guarino. “She is kind, caring and always willing to help others.”
“This program has provided me an advantage to reach my goals by helping me practice and giving me the hours needed to get my license,” Haley said.
As part of public education, Erie 1 BOCES offers a variety of career and technical programs during the regular school day to high school students in Erie County. High school students interested in learning more about how they can participate in various programs such as sports science careers, web technologies and game programming, health careers or aviation technology, should visit www.e1b.org/cte or speak with their high school counselor.
