The Medical Assistant class wasn't telling ghost stories today. Instead, they were learning how to check visual acuity using both the Spot Vision Screener and the Snellen chart.
This weekend, our CTEC EMT Program students volunteered for the Blue and Red Santa Project. The Blue & Red Santa Project is a community-driven initiative to brighten the holidays for some of our area’s less fortunate children. Great job, Trailblazers! #seizeopportunity #culpepertec
Congratulations to our Automotive II students for taking and passing the ASE entry-level certification tests! We are incredibly proud of our students' hard work and dedication!
Earlier this month, Drafting II students were given the opportunity to take a pretest to prepare for Autodesk REVIT certification. These students earned the certification that day! #seizeopportunity #culpepertec
CTEC has been filled with excitement this week as we hosted fifth graders from each of Culpeper's elementary schools. The fifth graders learned about each of a our programs, and got hands-on with various program demonstrations led by our Trailblazers! We look forward to seeing the fifth graders back in CTEC as Trailblazers in a few years!
Thank you Veterans. Today and every day.
Today, CTEC had the pleasure of hosting local Veterans for a Veterans Day Celebration. 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.
Today, our Medical Assistant students attended the Healthcare Career Fair at Germanna Community College, Locust Grove Campus, where they gained insight into the healthcare industry, developed professional interview skills, and established network relationships with our local healthcare facilities. #culpepertec #SeizeOpportunity
Brian Sime, Technical Support Engineer from BMW of North America, visited our CTEC Automotive program today to discuss the BMW STEP program and what job opportunities await CTEC graduates if they choose to join the BMW program.
Mr. Sime gave real-world advice for our aspiring technicians in level 1 and level 2. Mr. Sime also drove a brand new all electric 2023 BMW i5 M60 to show to our students.

The Blaze Kitchen was very busy, but we were able to get them together for a brief moment for a group photo before they went back to work! Our Trailblazers and our Chef received a lot of positive comments and praise for a job well done. Thank you to Culpeper Air Fest for having our Culinary students cater the Sponsor Night Lights again.

We're amped to bring the Luma EV go-kart that is charged by the solar panels atop CTEC to the Culpeper Air Fest STEM Days this week! All 5th graders from Culpeper County Public Schools will be able to see the kart, along with many other interactive exhibits this Wednesday and Thursday at Culpeper Airport.
This past Wednesday, our Drafting II students went on a field trip to the Five Senses Garden at the Culpeper Sports Complex. There, they took measurements and sketched out the area where a play structure being built by our carpentry students will be placed in the future.
From there, the students went to downtown Culpeper to look at the architecture of the historic buildings, with an emphasis on the windows and doors of the buildings along Davis St.
