The CTE Student Leadership Team decorated boxes to collect holiday gifts for some of our cafeteria and custodial staff. Thank you to our CTE family for generously donating to our gift boxes. These members of CTE serve every student, every day and we wanted to celebrate them with some holiday cheer.



🌟✨ It's Gifted Education Week and our students are soaring to new heights! This semester, our Gifted Education classes are diving into the fascinating world of aeronautics. From the basics of flight to cutting-edge aviation technology, our students are exploring it all. 🚀✈️
Next semester, they'll be blasting off into astronautics, exploring the wonders of space and the future of space exploration. 🌌🌠
Our Big Idea for the Year is "The Ongoing Progress of Innovation," and these young minds are truly embracing it, innovating and discovering with every lesson. We can’t wait to see where their curiosity and creativity take them!
