CTE Updates
August 31, 2023
After an exciting summer of innovative CTE-related camps and events, WHS's CTE team is ready to provide instruction that will lead students to mastery in their CTE content during the 2023-2024 school year.
Our calendar is filled with activities that will engage students. Our Teacher Academy of Maryland's Trunk or Treat (slated for October 27, 2023) is just one of many events planned that will allow us to connect with our community and provide safe and fun activities for BCPS students. Finding and creating continuous opportunities to celebrate our students and their achievements is one for our goals.
You may encounter some of our seniors working in a local business. Our senior apprenticeship students are currently serving as paid youth apprentices at businesses like BoMark Electric, Hayes Construction and Phoenix Metals, to name a few. We are still seeking additional placements for students. If you are interested in hiring a qualified youth apprentice for a paid, mentored work experience please let us know.

Congratulations to D. Vinson and J. Heiderman.
Our two warriors have been working at Phoenix Metals all summer. Both students are interested in working in HVAC.
Phoenix Metals is a company of individuals working and growing business together, earned by servicing all of our customers efficiently, dependably providing the product solutions for their projects, while consistently striving to improve and increase customer satisfaction.
Mr. Otto, PLTW & Technology Education instructor, hosted a successful robotics summer camp and is ready to assist students in the upcoming competition season.
If you know a WHS student who is interested in learning about robotics and programming, invite them to the upcoming information session.
Students can look forward to an invigorating and competitive competition season.
