Principal's Message

Welcome Families

It is hard to believe that we are wrapping-up August! It is wonderful to have all of our students in the building together.

If you would like access to your student's CATEC grades, you can access them though CATEC PowerSchool. Please reach out to CATEC if you need additional assistance.

As we head into September, your students will get uniforms that promote professionalism, but also provide safety measures specific to their trade. If your student does not have something they need, do not hesitate to reach out.

Please mark your calendars for CATEC's 50th Anniversary Celebration and Open House on Saturday, September 28 at CATEC. This event celebrates our school and will give you the opportunity to see our building and meet our instructors.

Thank you to all of our families for supporting CATEC! We are thrilled to have you and your student in our school community!

Sincerely,

Dr. Stacey Heltz
