Lebanon School District opens Robert W. Plaster Center for Student Success

LEBANON, Mo. (KY3) - The Lebanon School District celebrated the opening of a new home for many of its high school students.

The district hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday afternoon to christen The Robert W. Plaster Center for Student Success. The renovated retail space brings students from the GO CAPS and Schools of Discovery programs under one roof.

Administrators say the move will save students time and improve collaboration. The high school principal says the programs make a big impact by helping accelerate the transition from student to young professional.

“We want kids to definitely have a plan. We want them to have a plan when they graduate,” said Kati O’Quinn, Lebanon High School principal. “But we also know that they don’t have to be tied to that forever. And the more opportunities and experiences that we can provide for them, kind of in this safe learning environment, we feel like the better off they are to make those decisions once they get out of high school.”

Students in the GO CAPS and Schools of Discovery programs can explore career fields ranging from engineering and business to teaching professions and the medical field.
