February is National Career and Technical Education Week. Current CTE students shared information with students during lunch today. It is never too early for students to start thinking about future careers. WVHS offers career exploration at each grade level. CTE programs begin in 10th grade. Courses offered include: Carpentry. Early Childhood, Law and Public Safety, Health Sciences, and Agriculture. If you want more information on these programs please see Mr Barnes, Mrs Egdorf, or Mrs Ayers. CTE offers hands-on training and the chance for internships, jobs, and scholarships.
Mrs. Lindsey Faust came to our class today to read a book and share some Mardi Gras traditions with us. She also sent King Cake yesterday.☺️
Will Faust brought a king cake straight from New Orleans to share with his teachers and classmates.
WVHS continued with their Black History Month Celebration. We have focused on famous quotes and notable individuals who have made significant contributions. This week we focused on various HBCU'S across the southeast. Research boards were created by our 9th grade students and our history classes took time to visit our gallery of the institutions to learn more about this. Thanks to all involved in making this a success. Some of our very own staff and HBCU alumni had fun dressing in their school spirit apparel and seeing their school represented today! A special shoutout to Coach Sayles for all of her hard work in making this a successful event.
