π Rising 8th Grade CTE Spotlight: Armani π
Creek K-8 β Harmony High School
CTE Teacher: Mrs. Walker Cooper
Skill Up CTE Middle School Lab
Armani is being recognized as a Rising 8th Grade CTE Spotlight for her strong interests in both Criminal Justice and Veterinary Assisting as she prepares to begin high school.
Armani will be attending Harmony High School, where she plans to enroll in Criminal Justice Operations and Veterinary Assisting pathways. She chose Criminal Justice because it has been a long-time interest, and she wants to learn more about law enforcement and investigative work. She also chose Veterinary Assisting because of her love for animals and her desire to help care for and protect them.
While at Canoe Creek K-8 under Mrs. Walker Cooper, Armani participated in the Skill Up CTE Middle School Lab, where she gained hands-on exposure to both career fields. In Criminal Justice activities, she learned skills such as fingerprinting and identifying different materials used in investigations. In Veterinary Assisting activities, she practiced skills like safely muzzling a dog and learning how blood draws are performed in animal care settings. These experiences helped her discover her confidence and strengths in both pathways.
Armaniβs goals include learning how to properly solve and investigate cases, earning a certification in Criminal Justice, and continuing to build her skills in Veterinary Assisting. She also hopes to learn how to X-ray animals and administer vaccines while earning a certification in the veterinary pathway.
π We are proud of Armaniβs curiosity, hands-on learning, and dedication to exploring two meaningful career paths, and we are excited to see her grow at Harmony High School.
