CTE Day
On February 8, Sumner County Schools hosted its 5th Annual CTE Day to celebrate progress made in Career and Technical Education (CTE) over the past year. About 35 of the district’s 115 high school CTE teachers were invited to attend, along with school administrators, business and industry partners, School Board members, local Chamber of Commerce Directors, and personnel from local postsecondary institutions. Food for CTE Day was catered by the Culinary Arts program at Gallatin High School, with the students not only cooking the food, but also attending CTE Day to serve the food as well.
CTE Day boasts a variety of speakers that discuss the state of CTE in Sumner County and the outlook of CTE in our geographic area. Speakers for this year’s event included Dr. Del Phillips, Director of Schools; Chase Moore, CTE Coordinator; Angela McChesney from the Portland campus of TCAT-Nashville; Kevin Harrison with TCAT-Hartsville; and a keynote address from Deana Ivey, Executive VP and Chief Marketing Officer for the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation. CTE Day also had two high school seniors share their experiences with CTE and the impact it has had on their educational careers – Emily Hickman, HOSA President at Beech High School, and Bill Mouchette, DECA President at Station Camp High School.
We were also honored this year to have newly-elected Governor Bill Lee join us during lunch to speak about the importance of CTE and discuss some of the legislative initiatives he plans to announce to improve CTE in our state. During his address, Governor Lee stated that he would like to see high schools throughout the state “look a lot more like Sumner County high schools.” Governor Lee also spoke about the unique relationship in Sumner County between the private sector, community leaders, and the education system, all of whom were represented at CTE Day, and how he would like to see that replicated across the state.

Beech FCCLA Students Implement New Recycling Program
Four students at Beech High School have implemented a new recycling program this year for a community project through their local FCCLA (Family, Community, and Career Leaders of America) chapter. They have included the high school and Beech Elementary School. These students are: Brooke Sheely, Keleigh Willis, Savannah Ichikawa, and Zoie Rosenburg. They all believe that taking care of the Earth and what we have been given is very important. Recycling is a simple and effective way to start making a difference. These girls are starting out small and only accepting paper but they are hoping to grow it each year and accept more items. Creating awareness and being ambassadors for the Earth's condition is what these girls are doing, one paper at a time!

GHS Criminal Justice students have been working diligently to reduce motor vehicle injuries and fatalities by increasing seat belt usage and distracted driving prevention amongst teen drivers. They have conducted an on-campus seat belt inspection, created and distributed awareness flyers, and have developed a presentation that has been given to over 300 GHS students so far. Banners and metal signs were also placed inside the school as well as within the parking lot to bring awareness. They have created an Instagram page so their fellow students can post pictures of them wearing their seatbelt. They will continue their campaign and will be able to determine if their efforts resulted in increased seatbelt use through an end of the year unannounced inspection and survey. #buckleupgreenwave
