To give our staff and teachers a nice Friday treat, the amazing Yowell Elementary School baristas from Specially Brewed Coffee came to CTEC to serve our teachers and staff coffee, tea, and bagels! The drinks were fantastic, only to be topped by their smiling faces and the joy they brought to all of us during their visit!
Afterwards, the baristas were given a very special tour of CTEC by our principal, Mr. Summerscales, where they got to see what our Trailblazers are working on in Cosmetology, checked out the automotive lab, got to sit in the EMT ambulance simulator, and finally they got to hear their heartbeat in our Medical Assistant lab!

Our Electrical I and II students were given a tour of a new home construction project in town yesterday by Lights by Knight Electric where they are responsible for installing all of the electrical. The students were given a tour of the project by owner Kyle Knight and his staff member Chuck Burke, who discussed the various stages of the electrical portion of the project. These stages included connecting each apartment unit to the main power connection and performing electrical work in a framed unit, as well as determining where electrical connections need to be pulled at on a foundation before the framing is installed for a unit that will not have a basement or crawl space.
We are really grateful to Lights by Knight for their outstanding support of the students in our Electrical program at CTEC!
