In the next 10 years, Crown will be losing 25% of their workforce due to retirements. There has never been such a need for good workers who get along with others, show up for work every day and are willing to learn. Tri Star students look forward to filling some of these in demand positions.

CBI Tri Star Student Makes Reynolds & Reynolds History

Tri Star CBI students Elizabeth Suhr and Cassie Vondenhuevel both worked for Reynolds and Reynolds
Elizabeth Suhr and Cassie Vondenhueval

Tri Star CBI students Elizabeth Suhr and Cassie Vondenhuevel both worked for Reynolds and Reynolds while they were still in high school. According to Dennis Hirt, Personnel Director at Reynolds, both young ladies have done an outstanding job.


Reynolds and Reynolds employs over 300 people and has been part of the local community for over 100 years. In that time, they had never employed anyone who was 17 years old, but Cassie Vondenhuevel was the first. Because she was in a vocational class (CBI) through Tri Star, she could work for Reynolds and gain valuable work experience while making good money at the same time.

Tri Star is very proud of these two CBI students!

Shout Out to Mr. Hirschfeld

Tri Star and CBI would like to thank Celina High School Assistant Principal Mr. Clinton Hirschfeld for visiting the CBI classes and explaining the 2-hour delay policies and procedures, transportation forms, and parking privileges.

Without the patience and understanding of Mr. Hirschfeld and Mr. Metz, Celina High School Principal, the CBI program would not be as successful as it is currently.  The Celina High School teachers should also receive a lot of credit for working with the CBI students to ensure students can attend work on those 2-hour delay days.

Our local companies throughout Mercer and Auglaize Counties appreciate all of the support that the local school principals and administrators provide.
