Fifth grade recently took a field trip to CTEC. Students shadowed the CTEC students and learned a bit about a future career that they may be interested in! Students can start to take some of the classes there in 10th grade, so they were able to see what careers and certifications are available to them in high school! Here is a link to some pictures of the students on that day! Check out all the smiling faces! https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zrot3iW1uK3efxAN7
