Thanks for covering this! There are so many great CTE programs happening in all of the high schools in our county. The students in CTE programs, IMO, are the most prepared for success in their careers while they are learning valuable skills and college credit. This was the first year that our CTE students competed in Skills USA competition (they flew to So Cal) and they had great success! There is definitely more story material - I can connect you to some sources if you are interested. Another story idea are the summer internships for 16-18 year olds offered by NV Education Foundation, where they work for wineries in various capacities. I believe there are over 40 of those happening this year. It's good to inform people of this way that our wineries serve our youth.
Wonderful article! I am so happy to see so many young people becoming interested in agriculture. These are our future leaders, and I applaud the teachers who have instilled an appreciation and interest in agriscience, while creating a great work ethic among these students. Keep up the good work!
How wonderful to hear about these programs for St. Helena High School students. In today's complex employment world, students completing such programs (which include leadership, public speaking and other skills) are incredibly fortunate. Having attended St. Helena High School back in the 1960s, I can say that this level of educational experience was lacking (at least as far as I was ever informed.) Thanks to those who are making this learning experience available to students who participate. I hope to hear more about both the students taking the courses, and those who go on out into the world- college or not- and how this experience has propelled them into the working world. I have high hopes for each of them. (My profession included over 40 years working at a college, and students who had taken advantage of such opportunities in high school were always more prepared to take full advantage of leadership and other Higher Education options.)
