🌟 It's National CTE Month! 🌟 Did you know that February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month? 🎉 Our school system is proud to offer CTE programs in both middle and high schools, empowering students with the skills they need for future success. What is CTE? Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides students with hands-on learning experiences in various fields such as healthcare, information technology, engineering, and more. These programs combine academic knowledge with practical skills, preparing students for both college and career paths. Why is CTE Important? Real-World Skills: Students gain valuable skills that are directly applicable to the workforce. Career Exploration: CTE allows students to explore different career options and find their passion. College and Career Readiness: Students are better prepared for post-secondary education and the job market. Industry Connections: CTE programs often include internships and partnerships with local businesses, providing students with networking opportunities. Join us in celebrating the achievements of our CTE students and the dedicated educators who make these programs possible! 🎓✨ #CTEMonth #CareerReady #FutureLeaders #GreatThingsAtPCS #PocahontasCountySchools

📢 CALL TO ACTION! 📢 Parents, Guardians, Grandparents, and Community Members, we need your help! 🏫✨ Our schools rely on the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program for essential funding that supports vital educational programs, maintains school facilities, and ensures our children receive the quality education they deserve. Without the reauthorization of this program, our schools face significant financial challenges. Support US Congress Bills S.356 and H.1383 to extend the SRS program through 2026. Your voice can make a difference! Contact our representatives and urge them to take swift action. 📞 For H.1383: Contact Representative Miller: https://bit.ly/RepMillerContact or (202) 225-3452. URGE Rep. Miller to co-sponsor this bill! 📞 For S.356: Contact Senator Justice: https://bit.ly/CongJusticeContact or (202) 224-3954 or and Contact Senator Moore-Capito: https://bit.ly/CongCapitoContact or (202) 224-6472 Together, we can secure the future of our schools and ensure every child in our community has access to the resources they need to succeed.
