The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department recently hosted a CTE Expo at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center to show middle school students what the District has to offer.

Several technical clubs and classes from across the District had booths and demonstrations for middle school students. The expo displayed the District’s CTE class options to encourage enrollment for the following school year. Everything from cooking to nursing was up for display providing information to students about their topics.

Middle school students talked to campus representatives, including current CTE students from various high schools. CTE students also provided presentations. There were also students from extracurricular clubs present like the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). The event gave middle school students a healthy sampling of the different career preparation opportunities they can experience in high school.
Classes like automotive, health science, welding, and robotics were some of the student’s favorite booths at the expo. Several of the programs offer real-time job experience. Classes and clubs like FCCLA, DECA, JROTC, and many others also held booths and demonstrations for students.

Students interested in exploring these options should talk with their school’s counselor for additional information.
