Perspective students from both high schools came for a presentation by our principal, Mr. Summerscales, toured the building, talked with our instructors, and met with counselors from both high schools. We also had students from middle schools that are already interested in what we have to offer, along with elementary students that were excited about CTEC after they visited when we hosted fifth graders a couple of months ago. Registrations and applications open on February 19, 2024, on our website, www.culpepertec.org.

CTEC is now hiring for a Firefighting Instructor for the 2024-2025 School Year. For more information, please visit www.culpeperschools.org or scan the QR code in the included image.

Have you heard? CTEC will be adding Firefighter I & II to our course offerings for the '24-'25 school year! Firefighting requires discipline and attention to academic and professional standards to successfully fight live fires, address hazardous-materials (HAZMAT) incidents, and conduct search-and-rescue operations. Students will become familiar with the procedures, equipment, and technologies used by fire departments. This course challenges students academically, mentally, and physically and meets the standards of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001-2019 leading to the opportunity to obtain a Firefighter I & II certification

Our HVACR students took a field trip today to Appleton Campbell to check out their facility, speak with industry professionals, and get hands-on by showing the skills they have learned at CTEC.

Thank you Veterans. Today and every day.

Veterans were served lunch by our Culinary students, while the combined choir comprised of Eastern View High School and Culpeper County High School choirs sang. Thank you to our School Board and Board of Supervisor members for attending, but most importantly, thank you to our Veterans for your services and sacrifices so that we can live in a free country.
