CAPS opens with a smile and a handshake

August 18, 2010 marked the opening of the new Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) in Blue Valley. CAPS is a profession-based learning center where junior and senior level students from any Blue Valley high school can deeply explore their interests in biosciences, engineering or human services.

In the first minutes after the doors opened for students, CAPS director Chad Ralston gave CAPS students from all five Blue Valley high schools their first profession-based lesson as he taught them how to perform a proper handshake.

Here, students are practicing their handshakes and their professional greetings.
