Exposure Creates Opportunities! Today, a group of our upperclassmen had the opportunity to visit NC State University, gaining firsthand insight into college life, academic programs, and career pathways. Experiences like this are game-changers—they help students envision their futures, set goals, and make informed decisions about their next steps after high school. From touring the campus to engaging with faculty and students, this visit expanded their perspectives and reinforced the importance of higher education. College exposure matters, and we’re committed to providing these valuable experiences for our students! #CollegeBound #FutureLeaders #NCStateVisit

🚀 The Power of CTE & Hands-On Learning 🚀 Career & Technical Education (CTE) is more than just a class—it’s a pathway to real-world success! Through hands-on learning, students develop critical skills, explore careers, and gain industry experience that prepares them for the future. Whether it’s welding, horticulture, early childhood education, digital design, culinary arts, sports marketing, or entrepreneurship, CTE provides opportunities to learn by doing and build a strong foundation for college, careers, and beyond. When students engage in hands-on learning, they retain knowledge better, develop problem-solving skills, and gain confidence in their abilities. CTE isn’t just about preparing for the workforce—it’s about preparing for life! 🔥 Skills for Today. Careers for Tomorrow. Success for a Lifetime. 🔥 #CTEWorks #HandsOnLearning #FutureReady
