This week our middle school students had the opportunity to tour CTE classrooms and get a firsthand look at the exciting programs waiting for them in high school!
They learned about the wide variety of Career & Technical Education courses they can take, organizations they can join, and discovered job opportunities available to high school students through our FLEX programs.
It was a great chance for students to start thinking about their futures and see how their interests today can turn into skills — and careers — tomorrow. We love helping students find their path!
