CTE Delivers Real-World Skills for Students

• CTE is a unique opportunity for hands on learning – putting students at the center of the action.
• CTE provides the skills and confidence students need to pursue career options, discover their passions and get on a path to success.
• Students in CTE programs and their parents are three times as likely to report they are “very satisfied” with their and their children’s ability to learn real-world skill as part of their current education compared to parents and students not involved in CTE.

Mr. Vineyard's Floral Design classes have been getting ready for the Level I Floral Certification test that will be held later this month! Students have been learning how to process flowers, make eose boutonnieres, and triangular symmetrical arrangements. They've worked incredibly hard, and we are proud of them and their efforts.

The State Board of Education (SBOE) is now accepting nominations for the 2022 Student Heroes Award.

The Student Heroes Award program recognizes Texas public school students in prekindergarten through high school who voluntarily work to assist or benefit their fellow Texas students.

Student volunteers possess enormous passion and talents and have displayed them in various ways throughout the years. Actions of past recipients include organizing a livestock show for kids with special needs, creating and hosting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) literacy camps and webinars, showcasing artwork to raise funds for sensory classroom equipment, publishing a book to encourage perseverance and discipline, and creating “Kindness Projects” that impacted more than 50,000 people.

Up to 15 students – one per State Board of Education district – may receive the award each year. Anyone may nominate a Texas public-school student for the award.

Award requirements include the following:

· The service, assistance or good deed must be voluntary and not part of any curriculum, graduation requirement, class, or community project.

· The service, assistance or good deed must benefit other students in Texas, either individually or collectively.

· The benefit may be to students of one campus, a district, or a community.

Nominations will be accepted through March 31, 2022, at 5 p.m. (CDT).

Recipients of the Student Heroes awards will be announced in June. A plaque and a medal will be awarded to each Student Hero by his or her State Board of Education member.

Nomination forms and program guidelines are available at https://tea.texas.gov/about-tea/news- and-multimedia/awards/student-heroes-award.
