MS CTE Happenings Spring 2025

January was the kickoff for the Medical Explorers guest presenter series. During this session, students learned about germs and best handwashing techniques. Medical Explorers is a health careers club piloted by CHCCS CTE in collaboration with local AHEC chapters this year. Throughout the spring semester, students were able to explore various health careers in fun and hands-on ways. 

February was CTE Month, a time to celebrate all things CTE! Cooking demonstrations taking place in FACS classrooms, t-shirts presented to our awesome MS CTE staff, and highlights from the 8th Grade High School CTE Tours are displayed below. The Medical Explorers club also took a field trip to the UNC Adams School of Dentistry.

During the month of March, students participated in the Students@Work program and visited Raleigh for a tour of the Capitol and learned about careers in the Office of the Governor! A group of Business and Family & Consumer Sciences students completed a hospitality tour of the Rizzo Center. A team from CISCO also provided classroom visits and exposed students to IT careers with interactive projects. Medical Explorers learned hands only CPR for adults and babies during sessions with nurses from both UNC and Duke.
