Spring Showcase
CTE held its annual CTE Spring Showcase Awards & Dinner. This dinner honored students, teachers, and industry partners who demonstrated exceptional efforts and leadership skills within their pathway. Students were nominated by their teachers, while industry advisors and teachers were nominated by a group of peers & professionals. The annual CTE auction, which features student work completed in their pathway, was able to generate 3,500 dollars in award money for our CTE scholarship fund.
