CTE courses don’t just keep up with the workforce—they lead the way! These programs are constantly evolving to match today’s job market, giving students hands-on, industry-aligned skills that employers are actively looking for. By working closely with local industry partners, CTE programs stay locked in on real career trends and real opportunities. And here’s the best part—many local employers are ready to hire CTE students straight out of high school, offering immediate pathways into competitive, in-demand careers.
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Teen Dating Violence is a pattern of emotional, verbal, sexual, or physical abuse used by one person in a current or past dating relationship to exert power and control over another when one or both of the partners is a teenager. Abuse may include insults, coercion, social sabotage, sexual harassment, stalking, threats and/or acts of physical or sexual abuse. This month, we are bringing awareness to this issue, educating students about it, and helping them understand how to prevent it. Wednesday, Feb. 11, is Wear Orange Day. Wear your orange and show you support.
Congratulations to Luke Bollinger for placing 3rd in the District Science Fair! He built a spice dehumidifier to prevent spices from going bad prematurely. Way to go! 🎉
