The Belles would like to give a big round of applause to NGC Teacher of the Week Mrs. Pidcock and WHS Teacher of the Week Mr. Ferguson!

Join us in congratulating our Blue Belles of the week! Spirit Belle Aria Hilliker, Miss High Kick Clara Winburn, and Belle of the week Carsyn Kern!

The CTE program allows students to broaden their knowledge for their future careers. Not only does it give students the proper education , but it also allows them to be hands-on as interns. Programs range from the medical field, to agriculture , to even business and marketing. I, as a fellow student, appreciate all the hard work teachers put into making this possible, giving students the opportunity to excel in life. The amount of effort is equally widespread, from students, teachers and the staff at the job sites.

This year I will be capturing all of what this program is about , from how students change from a school setting to one that is more professional. Every practicum and CTE class offers something for every individual person.
