The culture is hands down the most impactful portion in our building. 

Most schools would benefit from having teachers cross teach with CTE educators using their topic. This benefits both parties. 

Utilizing successful recent graduates has been a very successful strategy. Having them come back, and talk with the current students seems to have an outsized impact on the current students. 

CTE is a major role in the education of young people.  A focus on it being a large part of both formal an informal education is what helps students realize their potential and passion for hands on careers as well as hands on hobbies.  There is such a world of small entrepreneur craftsmanship now I believe we should in fact focus on this as well.
