This week I had some enlightening visits to several CTE Programs!
In Creative Arts & Design, Ms. Hackett’s students were working on their creative resumes, learning how to mount, and mixing three colors to create as many skin tones as possible.
In Electricity with Mr. Cooper, we learned about how the bidding process works, starting with reading floor plans and determining total cost of materials and labor. The bidding process is highly competitive, and involves a great deal of skill to master.
