Brevard Public Schools' Career and Technical Education (CTE) program marked its Fifth Annual Recognition Ceremony on May 7 in Viera, honoring students who completed internships and On-the-Job Training experiences during the 2025-26 school year.

CTE interns Lyla Maharramzade and Mei-Li Ramos served as emcees, representing the district's Work-Based Learning Specialist team. "This evening is a reflection of what is possible when education and industry come together to create meaningful opportunities for students and our community," they shared.

Tara Harris, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, and Deputy Superintendent Sue Hann welcomed more than 200 student interns, their families, teachers, and local employers, recognizing sponsors and congratulating the CTE Internship Class of 2025-26.

This year's interns represented career pathways including culinary arts, business and marketing, health sciences, automotive, construction, aviation, game and simulation design, early childhood education, digital media, and cybersecurity, among many others. A panel of graduating interns, employers, parents, and CTE teachers also shared reflections on the program's lasting impact on students' confidence and career readiness.

The ceremony was made possible through the support of Parrish Health Network, Lexus of Melbourne, The Viera Company, Rush Construction, Health First, and Two Chicks & a Pot.

Together, we are serving every student with excellence as a standard.

Congratulations to Mr. Reyes and his students at Space Coast!!

From March 25-28th, Space Coast's middle and high school students attended the annual Technology Student Association (TSA) state conference and competition in Orlando, Florida. Over 2,000 students attended this
conference, representing over 40,000
students from across the state (the largest delegation in the country).

Space Coast's students worked hard to compete in 23 distinct competitions ranging from Dragster Design, Audio Podcasting, Video Game Development, and much more.

Space Coast's middle school representatives were able to walk away with second place in the
state for the Technology Problem Solving
challenge.

Congratulations, Space Coast!

Our students and team from Titusville High School and Merritt Island High School in Brevard Public Schools (official) are anxiously waiting the launch coming in one hour! What a momentous occasion, an opportunity to see this with the team.

Ms. Schefcick’s DIT students from Delaura Middle School used their MOS/Adobe skills to create a food truck business. Her student Hayes made a t-shirt in Adobe to advertise his pizza truck.

Way to go Vipers! Mr. Reyes is a stellar teacher!!!

Mr. Aktas’ pre engineering class at James Madison Middle School had a chance to interact with a robotic dog! Students completed a writing assignment about autonomous robotic dogs, and then they had an opportunity to control the actual robot.
