Key Choices Ring in the New Year
Our Students Begin Their Paths to the Future
CEO/General Manager
Happy New Year. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and enjoyed your time with friends and family. Now, we’re at a moment for resolutions and contemplating all we’ll achieve in the next 12 months.
1 particular group will soon reach a significant milestone— graduating from high school. Some members of the Class of 2025 already cemented their plans for the next few years, but others are likely considering the short-term steps that will determine their long-term paths.
As these students begin their final months of high school, I want to thank them and their families for all they do, because these young people will become our community’s leaders for decades to come.
In my role with Sandhill, I appreciate the opportunities these young people have. We provide essential communications resources for online education, work-from-home jobs and so much more. Every day, we see how young people make the most of the digital tools connecting our community to the world.
Many students complete the early college selection process by late winter. Come spring, others will pick their next destinations. We celebrate these choices because a college education is a wonderful, challenging opportunity. From engineers to physicians, business leaders, and so many other professional paths, the road begins with college.
However, that’s far from the only option. Traditional colleges won’t meet the needs of everyone. Some future members of the workforce will enroll at a community college, trade or technical school, and we applaud these options. The route from high school to high-paying jobs in in-demand fields based on trade school educations may be shorter and much less expensive than traditional college degrees.
What would we do without expert locksmiths, reliable truck drivers, electricians, plumbers, and the other tradespeople who make modern life possible? Individuals who invest their time to learn these skills are invaluable.
These are topics close to our hearts at Sandhill because the people who install the networks that make our services possible need the training to bring you the highest-quality service. In fact, Sandhill has worked with Northeastern Tech here in our territory for years and is proud that several of our team members are graduates of 1 of its programs.
Our hope is all our young people have the resources and ability to choose the career best for them. Then, hopefully, they’ll be part of our community for generations to come.
As we begin this new year, remember the high school seniors around us face important decisions. As their communications provider, we’re proud to offer the powerful internet network linking them to all the resources they need to take their next steps.
May your 2025 be filled with joy. Thank you for letting us serve you.
