Nov. 26—EAU CLAIRE — On Tuesday, more than 20 local high school students found themselves alongside Chippewa Valley Technical College students in the Health Education Center.

"We talked about what the classes are for teeth, so molar, premolar, canines..." said Hailey Berger, a dental hygiene student at CVTC. "We kind of just went over everything that you would learn in the first week to two weeks, no matter what program you're going into."
