Celebrating Black History Month
National Career and Technical Education Month
February is National Career and Technical Education Month. We are holding our fair for freshmen in Preparing for College and Careers classes in February and I will be presenting at Block about our opportunities. We currently have 10 CTE Pathways students can participate in:
- Digital Design
- Radio and TV Broadcasting
- Accounting
- Education Careers
- Pharmacy

CTE is a great way to help students learn soft skills and technical skills to help prepare them for a career.
