Today, our CTE Department proudly sponsored a 5th Grade CTE Awareness and Transportation Expo! Despite the rainy weather preventing some of our transportation industry guests from attending, the event was a tremendous success. WCES 5th graders had an amazing time being introduced to the world of Career and Technical Education. Each of our CTE departments showcased their programs with hands-on displays and engaging giveaways — including seeds, food, stress balls, name badges, and more — helping students stay alert and excited about future opportunities. In addition, JROTC and Government & Economics had their displays front and center, drawing great interest from our young learners. Special thanks to Bojangles for providing goodie bags, and to The Law Office of D. Cole Phelps for sponsoring Kona Ice treats. Billy R. Jackson Trucking, Inc. and Beaufort County Community College rolled in their 18-wheelers, allowing students to climb inside and explore these massive machines up close! A special shoutout to our JROTC department for setting up the event and ensuring students stayed engaged indoors with Game Centers, and to our amazing NTHS members from various CTE programs who helped make the day unforgettable. We’re proud to continue planting seeds of exploration and opportunity for our future leaders through CTE!
