Cleveland County Schools CTE

More pictures from our exciting Rising 6th Grade Career Discovery Camp!

What an incredible week at our Rising 6th Grade Career Discovery Camp! Students explored exciting career pathways through hands-on simulations in engineering, robotics, environmental science, flight principles, health science, and more.

A special thank you to our guest speakers, Katie Scism (Vet Tech, Cleveland Community College), Jimmy Boheler (JB Drone Solutions), and Kaitlin Hollowell and the surgical/anesthesiology team (Atrium Health Cleveland) for sharing their expertise and inspiring our students.

Campers also enjoyed engaging STEM activities with KidSenses and wrapped up the week with outdoor exploration at Broad River Greenway alongside David Caldwell, MountainTrue’s Broad Riverkeeper, and Amanda Strickland from Cleveland County Soil & Water Conservation.

Thank you to all of our partners for helping students discover new interests, explore careers, and connect learning to the world around them!
