WANIC BANNER Page
WANIC Skill Center offers high quality, tuition-free professional training for high school Juniors and Seniors. These year-long, advanced-level Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are based on rigorous academic and industry standards and prepare students for college and/or a career. WANIC programs may offer dual credit opportunities (both high school and college credit) and/or lead to industry certifications. Programs are designed in three period blocks allowing extended time to not only learn the theory of a subject, but to also get authentic hands-on lab experience. All classes earn Occupation Education high school credits and may offer other course equivalencies towards high school graduation requirements.
EHS Priority Deadline - April 1
During Eastlake’s registration, students register for a full 7-period Eastlake schedule. If approved for WANIC, counselors will work with students to adjust original schedule requests to accommodate their WANIC class. Remember that academic year WANIC requires students to be away from Eastlake for 4 class periods. For students interested in summer WANIC, the summer application typically opens after spring break.

Registering for WANIC

Eastlake students interested in WANIC should register for a full Eastlake schedule during EHS 2023-24 registration.

After WANIC's registration opens on January 24, 2023, submit the WANIC application. The priority registration deadline is 4/1/23.

DigiPen WANIC classes require students to attend an information session.

After the Eastlake master schedule for 2023-24 is finished, usually in June, EHS counselors and the College and Career Center will work with students to modify original schedule requests to accommodate a student’s WANIC schedule. You will typically need to be away from Eastlake for four class periods in order to participate in academic year WANIC.

WANIC Summer registration will open after LWSD Spring Break. This is a good option for students who do not have enough room in their schedules to participate in a year-round WANIC class.

All first year DigiPen applicants must attend one of the DigiPen Online Information Sessions.
