CTE in Action: Student Success Stories
📢 “Last year, I took Intro to Health and Medical Sciences. I was able to earn certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid. ” – Jamie D., Health Sciences Student, Class of 2027
📢 “I have taken Automotives I and II, it has helped me know how to work on my car. I don't really want it as a job or go to college for it, but it has helped me for when I need to help someone or help myself. My teacher is the best, he has been the nicest teacher and has helped me learn when I am confused. The hands-on learning is the best because I can actually do it by myself. ” – Angela D., Auto Mechanics Student, Class of 2026
📢 “I took Nurse Aide 1 and 2. It has helped me to practice and gain the skills I need to be able to properly perform in the medical field... Mrs Faulkner has also made a huge impact on me by believing in me and always wanting the best for me.” – Allison, L., Health Sciences Student, Class of 2025
