CATEC's summer camp program was a huge success this year! This summer we offered camps in Culinary Arts (2 sessions), Cosmetology, Architecture and Construction (3 sessions), Music Technology and Health and Medical Science. One-hundred and six students participated. The success of the camp is due to the instructors, as well as all the businesses and individuals that donated their time in order to teach the students about their line of work. Many businesses also allowed the students to visit their workplace. We give our heartfelt thanks to the following individuals/businesses, without whom camp would not have been the same: Click here to see pictures from the camp.

One of the major initiatives for CATEC this past year (and for the future) centers on the use of Thinking Maps. While seen to some in education as another graphic organizer, Thinking Maps are far more involved than organizers of thought. They are also great tools for students in learning how to remember, conceptualize and process new information. CATEC just recieved praise from the Thinking Maps Coordinators for our work this year.

"It's an honor to recognize these four members in our inaugural Wall of Fame induction at CATEC. It's a shame that all four members are not here today to accept the recognition. They all passed away too early. The family members that were present to receive their awards had a chance to hear all of the wonderful things that others had to say about them. Their legacies will certainly live on with all those that they have touched." -Darah Bonham, CATEC Director In addition to the four inductees, CATEC recognized Charles Hendricks from the Gaines Group as the 2008 Contributor of the Year for his work on the design and construction of the Hinge House being built at CATEC.
