A group of CTE students from Enumclaw High School recently attended the Future in Flight Aerospace and Advanced Manufacturing Expo. They were able to experience Interactive exhibits from regional employers and training programs. There were opportunities to explore Industry recognized certificates, pre apprenticeships, apprenticeships, internships, and two and four year colleges.

CTE hosted its 2nd annual Trades Festival, which was combined with our End-Of-Year celebration led by our Leadership classes. We welcomed over 50 vendors from a wide range of trades, offering students hands-on experiences and opportunities to ask questions about potential career paths

Students from the EHS Engineering Club visited EMS to showcase the exciting STEM and leadership opportunities available in high school. The club members took full ownership of the event—collaborating with teachers, designing interactive presentations, and even bringing along a competition robot for a live demonstration. The visit wasn’t just a presentation; it became a vibrant learning exchange as EMS students shared their own projects and ideas, fostering curiosity, collaboration, and inspiration on both sides.

EHS, in collaboration with Junior Achievement, hosted its first-ever Career Day last week, featuring fifty-six speakers from a wide array of professions. Students in grades 9-12 had the opportunity to learn about diverse career paths and the experiences that led professionals to their current roles. Specifically, senior students engaged in a reality fair designed to simulate real-life financial management. Each student was assigned a salary and tasked with budgeting for essential expenses, including housing, food, and utilities, as well as discretionary spending and unexpected costs. This interactive experience provided a practical understanding of budgeting and living within one's means.

Congratulations to all our CTE students who were nominated by their teachers for their outstanding professional skills they show in their classes every day. We are honored to be able to host breakfast for them and their families! What a great way to wrap up CTE month.

CTE is good for businesses.
Busineses and EHS students come together each year to the Women in Trades Fair, where students learn about living wages and lucrative careers in the construction trades. This includes everything from carpentry, sheet metal, electrical, masonry, and firefighting. Past participants ghave been King County, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Seattle Fire Dept, and VECA.

CTE is good for students and community.
Our Arts program across all of our schools is thriving.
Each year, our arts teacher organizes and hosts a district wide art show. Students' art from each of our schools is sent over to the high school where it is showcased around our commons. For one night, the community comes together to see students recognized for their talents. It is certainly a highlight of our year.
