News Release
Public invited to Student Showcase of Evergreen Public Schools Career and Technical Education Programs - 04/19/18

Career and Technical Education (CTE) at Evergreen Public Schools invites the community to learn about the CTE experience at a Student Showcase on April 30, 2018. 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School, 9105 NE 9th Street, Vancouver WA.

Evergreen Public Schools middle and high school students enrolled in CTE coursework will demonstrate, exhibit, and talk about the things they have been learning this school year. Projects in game design, architecture, photography, medical science, floral design, veterinary science, environmental science, robotics, manufacturing, and other subjects will be featured in an open-house format. There will be opportunities to tour some of the state-of-the art medical instruction classrooms at Henrietta Lacks High. Admission is free.

“This is the first time CTE has hosted a district-wide student showcase,” said College, Career, and Technical Education Director, Susan Dixon. “It should be a great way for parents and students to learn about the opportunities to engage in creative and technical subjects in high school that could prepare them for potential careers.” Dixon encourages middle school students and parents, especially, to attend.

About CTE:  CTE prepares learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. Over 125 CTE courses in Evergreen Public Schools allow students to explore high-wage, high-skill, high-demand careers in emerging industries. Forty-nine of these courses also fulfill core requirements for graduation. Students have the opportunity to earn college credits while taking many of the courses offered in CTE. The 2016 graduation rate among Evergreen Public Schools CTE students was 90%. Nationally, about 12.5 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE pathways.
