Students from the Early Childhood pathway at Carver High School attended the Teach Maryland Conference 2023 on May 8th. The theme for the conference was, "Build The Future With Us." The purpose of the conference was to expose students interested in the field of education to network and attend training sessions to help build on that interest. 

In these sessions they were able to hear speakers and students that are currently in the educational field, learn about careers in education, and resources to help be a successful teacher and have an engaging classroom. The highlight of the event was being able to hear Maryland's 2023 Teacher of the Year, Berol Dewdney.

City Schools' has over 30 career pathways in 17 high schools across the district. Each pathway is supported by a committee called program advisory committees (PAC) made up of industry, workforce, and postsecondary partners as well as CTE instructors. The committees advise, assist, and advocate to ensure the quality and robustness of each pathway's curriculum, work-based learning experiences, industry certifications, postsecondary on-ramps, and more. In this picture are the amazing members of City Schools' Information Technology PAC chaired by Gretchen LeGrand, Code in the Schools.

Thank you to all of our PAC members for their work this school year that have led to many student and instructor successes!

On March 3rd, City Schools took agriculture students from Reginald F. Lewis High School and Green Street Academy to Oriole Park at Camden Yards to learn about field turf management and careers in the industry. They received a behind the scenes tour of parts of the stadium, sat in the dugout and experienced the field up close, learned about specialized grass and how it affects athletes, explored equipment used to manage athletic fields, discussed why the field was so bad during the Super Bowl, and met Orioles Head Groundskeeper Nicole Sherry. As a kind gesture, she even gave the field trip attendees baseballs and signed many of them.

Thank you to Neith Little and Geoffrey Rinehart of University of Maryland and Baltimore Orioles for providing our students with this valuable work-based learning experience.

Breyonna and hundreds of City Schools students will earn Associate's Degrees while in high school.

Breyonna, a senior at Dunbar High School, has a passion for animals. For years, she’s enjoyed taking care of pets, searching out wildlife, and envisioning a future as a veterinarian. But she never could have imagined that she’d be earning college credits toward that profession by exploring her passion.

Thanks to City Schools’ P-TECH Program, Breyonna has done exactly that! She’ll be graduating this spring with a high school diploma AND an Associate’s Degree in General Science from Baltimore City Community College. The degree and experience gives Breyonna a significant head start in getting college credits for a veterinary degree and in getting comfortable at college.

Cisco Cyber CTE students at Edmondson Westside High School, along with their teacher Mr. Hanniker, visited The International Spy Museum. The Museum aims to provide an objective and apolitical forum for exploring important topics such as the impact of secrecy on civil liberties, the changing role of technology in intelligence work, and the challenges of disinformation in a social media environment. 

While at the museum, students learned the impact of intelligence on history, including successes and failures, new tech tools, and the tension in balancing the needs for secrecy and liberty. Additionally, they gained information about how cyber operations let intelligence agencies gather information or disrupt vital systems swiftly, safely, and remotely.
