On this episode of North State Rocks, Dawn Egan shares her remarkable journey from owning a successful computer store in Fallon, Nevada, to becoming the leader of Lassen High School's technology and business education program over the last three decades. She discusses how a chance encounter led to writing the school's first major technology grant, transforming it from having virtually no computers to a state-of-the-art facility. Egan details her award-winning FBLA program that has become one of California's largest, preparing students through hands-on experiences like business plan competitions and interview workshops. The conversation covers her daughters' success stories, the importance of two-year college pathways, and how she's incorporating artificial intelligence tools into modern education while maintaining focus on practical skills that prepare students for real-world success.
