Green Hills AEA CTE

We are so proud to partner with Shenandoah Community School District and other Green Hills AEA school districts to provide the Credentials to Careers Grant to students!

Big news for our Health Science program! In partnership with Green Hills AEA and six other SW Iowa districts, Shenandoah High School has received the Credentials to Careers Grant from the Iowa Department of Education!

This funding directly supports 20 of our CNA students by covering state testing fees, providing new scrubs, a CNA simulator program, and essential classroom supplies. We are so proud to provide these enhanced pathways for our students as they prepare for high-demand careers in our region. Congratulations to all the students involved!

Fall has been a whirlwind for the Regional Planning Partnership! 🍂
Joni and Stephanie have logged plenty of miles visiting schools and connecting with so many amazing CTE educators across the regions. 🚗💨 We kicked off the DCAP process in Region 11 last week with nearly 200 educators — what an incredible start! 🙌

Whew — what a busy month across Regions 13 & 14! 🍂

Last week, our Applied Sciences teachers wrapped up their final work day for program approval — one big to-do officially checked off the list ✅ It was great to see everyone and celebrate the progress happening across our regions!
We also had the chance to catch up with Calieb Kistler from Central Decatur Community School, who received a mini grant from RPP14 to grow his CTE program. Congratulations to Calieb and his students — we can’t wait to see all the great learning happening with the new equipment! 👏

📸 Enjoy a few snapshots of students putting that new equipment to work! Green Hills AEA
