🚀 CTE Monthly Newsletter

Our CTE students are settling into their pathways and beginning to put what they’re learning into practice. Each lesson, project, and conversation is a chance to build skills and explore career interests.

October also brings Fall Break—a chance to rest, recharge, and return ready to keep growing. Before the break, we encourage students to check in with their CTE teachers, stay on track with coursework, and explore opportunities beyond the classroom.

🍂 Enjoy Fall Break, and let’s make October a month of discovery and growth!

Ms. Rachal has stepped up to the plate this year in a big way! She has taken on extra courses and expanded her pathway’s curriculum, giving students more opportunities to practice industry-related tasks and build career skills.

She’s also always willing to lend a hand with technology issues—often saving us from submitting that dreaded help ticket! 🙂

Thank you, Ms. Rachal, for all you do to support our students and team!
