Weekly Happenings
Last week I was able to connect with a number of high school principals from across the state. One of the topics we discussed for an extended period of time related to how high school programming within CTE departments was preparing students for challenging, rewarding, and needed careers within our communities. Our CTE staff is absolutely tremendous in the opportunities, programming, and support they give to our students. Our students are fortunate to have strong community support and CTE teachers who do a great job utilizing our facilities to give our students real experiences that translate into great careers. CTE teachers - thank you for all that you do! Happy CTE month!
