Dr. Stone, Director of CTE and GW/AET and CTE completer, Chris Stone II, presented at a VSBA session regarding the CTE academies and pathways at DPS. CTE shared how specialized career-focused education prepares students for both the workforce and post-secondary success. By highlighting industry-aligned curricula, hands-on training, and partnerships with local businesses, we can demonstrate the real-world impact of these programs. Additionally, sharing student success stories and efforts will emphasize the value of CTE and rigorous academic programs can shape future career opportunities.
