About the LEAD Center

The LEAD Center is located at M-58 and Foxridge Drive in Raymore. LEAD stands for Learning, Experiences, And Discovery.

The District purchased the building in February 2021 to provide additional opportunities for students in the area of career oriented education and real world learning experience. The facility, which has about 41,000 square feet, had been vacant for several years.

The programs housed at the LEAD Center include: Carpentry, Electrical Studies, Enterprise & Design (E&D), Machining, and the Teacher Academy. New for 2024-2025 are the heating and cooling (HVAC) and Heavy Equipment Operating programs.

Other programs being considered for the LEAD Center include: plumbing, automation and robotics, and pharmacy technician. A planning committee is working to determine what programs will be offered at the LEAD Center, and when those programs will begin.

Business Partnerships

If you're interested in in working with students at the LEAD Center, please contact Sam Johnson, the Community Partnership Director for the district. We are always looking to expand our list of business partners in order to offer our students the most diverse options to possible. Working directly with our business community in the area is one of the most important ways that we can prepare students to enter the world beyond our walls.

If you have a problem you'd like our students to solve, are interested in hosting an intern, or just want to know more about how you could help, please don't hesitate to reach out.
