We're celebrating Black History Month by sharing notable contributions African Americans have made to the trades in the US. This post is about Harriet Tubman. While very famous for her contributions, many people are unaware of her role as a nurse during and after the Civil War.
It's Career and Technical Education Month and we're excited to kick off celebrations at CATEC. Today we hosted our first SkillsUSA District competition at CATEC in 5 years! It was a great event, celebrating shared interests and skills between CATEC, Massanutten, Valley, and Greene Co CTE programs. Congrats to all participants and bravo to students moving on to SkillsUSA State competitions in Roanoke. 👏 @skillsusa @skillsusavirginia
We're doing Photo Friday on a Thursday this week because we'll have lots of great SkillsUSA pics coming your way tomorrow. For this week, Culinary Arts had lots of fun learning to make sushi with Chef Mays. Our CNA and EMT students practiced patient skills with their manakin buddy. Our Cosmetology students were treated to a special visit from CATEC Cos Alum Sydney Mesa who shared stories of working in their industry.
This is a friendly reminder that CATEC High School programs are closed Friday, February 7th. Please wish our students participating in SkillsUSA District Competitions at CATEC the best of luck!
