CTC Career Talk
In an effort to support our school-wide goal of maintaining a 17% or less chronic attendance rate for this school year, CTC will offer a December attendance incentive in the form of two $50 VISA gift cards; one for an AM session student and one for a PM session student.
CTC students who have perfect attendance for the month of December will have their names placed in the drawing. On Friday, December 19th (the last day of school before the winter holiday break), we will draw one name and announce the perfect attendance winner over the PA system. We will have one AM winner and one PM winner for perfect attendance. Each winning student can head up to the front office to collect his or her $50 gift card; just in time for the holidays.
Obviously--- you must be present to win on December 19th!
Good luck!
CTC Bucks are awarded by teachers and staff as an incentive to encourage students to improve their academic performance and to participate in various school-based initiatives. When students earn five CTC bucks, they may redeem them for a blue ticket at the school store to be entered in drawings for gift cards. The drawings will occur before winter break and near the end of the school year.

Biomedical Students Visit Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore
Students from Ms. Marcum’s and Ms. Crowell’s Biomedical Science classes visited the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore for an impactful day of learning. They participated in a ThinkFirst injury-prevention presentation, experienced an impaired-driving simulation, and heard a powerful story from a trauma survivor about their journey and recovery.
Students also toured both the Shock Trauma and TRU floors, gaining a firsthand look at emergency medicine in action. The trip concluded with giving students the chance to speak with healthcare professionals and explore a variety of pathways in medical and trauma-related fields.
Nursing Students Explore Funeral Services Career at Stauffer Funeral Home
Students from Ms. Kidds’ Nursing students visited Stauffer Funeral Home to gain a unique perspective on the funeral services profession. During the visit, students learned about the responsibilities of a funeral director and the many skills involved in supporting families during difficult times.
They also explored the facility, including the crematory, to better understand the technical and respectful processes involved in end-of-life care. The experience offered valuable insight into a lesser-known but important career path within the broader healthcare and human services fields.
