St. Clair County RESA

Living our mission and vision every day

St. Clair County RESA is one of 56 intermediate school districts in Michigan. Our mission is simple: Partnering to educate, inform, inspire, and serve our communities. It guides the meaningful work all of us at RESA do every day on behalf of the county’s students, educators, and school districts. 

RESA is committed to making a positive difference in our community. We offer dynamic professional learning sessions to educators. We provide hands-on environmental education programs at the Pine River Nature Center. We host early learning opportunities for children ages 0–5. We charter the Blue Water Middle College and Virtual Learning Academy to extend learning opportunities for high school students. Our services are wide-ranging and ever-evolving to meet the needs of students, families, and educators. 

In addition to this myriad of resources, RESA operates three school programs. St. Clair TEC offers engaging career and technical instruction to high school juniors and seniors in fifteen distinct career areas. Woodland Developmental Center provides individualized education for students with significant cognitive and physical disabilities in a caring, supportive environment. Finally, the Next STEP Transition Program helps young adults aged 18 to 26 with a documented disability learn life skills and gain work experience. 

Our commitment to excellence, building effective relationships, and partnering with local school districts and civic organizations are at the heart of who we are and what we do as an organization. We are your partner in education.

 

I am incredibly proud to lead RESA and welcome the opportunity to discuss our services with you. If you have any questions, please call us at 810-364-8990. We’re here to help.
