Congratulations 2010 CATEC Completers!
The evening of May 26th marked the end to another successful year at CATEC, and the beginning of bright futures for all our completers! More than 140 students marched across the stage to the cheers of their families, friends, teachers, administrators, and Board members. We congratulate them and wish them all the best as they move on to the next phase of their lives.
2010 Wall of Fame
The 3rd annual CATEC Wall of Fame induction took place in May at the Farmington Country Club. This year's inductees were Grace Tinsley, Dick Comey, and Russell Wood. Click here to view video footage of the ceremony.
Entrepreneurship Challenge
CATEC has developed an Entrepreneurship program to better prepare students for the economy they will soon enter. This year we started with 268 students in the program. After eight sessions with their Entrepreneurship instructor, the students were required to select a business concept that solved a need in the community. They conducted a feasibility study, then analyzed whether their business concept could be successful as designed or would need to be altered to succeed. These studies were evaluated and 27.5% of the students qualified to participate in the 2nd annual CATEC Entrepreneurship Challenge where they researched further and made adjustments to their original concept. On Wednesday, May 12th twelve of those students presented their business ideas to a panel of judges consisting of community leaders, in the hopes of winning a cash prize. The judges chose the following three students as the winners of the 2010 Entrepreneur Challenge: Paul Norford ($200)
Nick Harris ($100)
Jessica Boling ($100)
Scholarship Winners
CATEC has awarded $8,000 in scholarships this year. All students planning on continuing their education at a college, university, or technical school were invited to apply for all scholarships. Congratulations to the following students who were awarded scholarships:
Rotary Club of Charlottesville’s Student Recognition
CATEC wants to congratulate Kelly Harris, a junior from Albemarle High School, and Riqueau Tyler, a junior from Charlottesville High School, as this year’s CATEC recipients of the Rotary Club of Charlottesville’s Student Recognition.
On Tuesday, March 23, 2010, the Rotary Club held their Recognition Program for the 2009-10 academic year. The Rotary generously treated the students to dinner. The purpose of the event is to recognize local high school students who demonstrate the ideals of the Rotary for outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, or community service. In addition, the Rotary Club wants to inform the students about the opportunities which the Club, District 7610, and Rotary International provide, including ambassadorial scholarships, speech and essay writing contests, and other academic scholarships.
