Last week the SouthBendCTE hosted our annual open house for the Building Trades home! Great work by the students who built this home during the school year!

Congratulations to South Bend CTE Graphic Design students Tyson Fuller and Klaus Carmona!

The Indiana Department of Education has selected their student-created Diploma Readiness Seal designs for use across the state as part of Indiana’s new diploma system.

Working in Mr. Murray’s Graphic Design program, Tyson and Klaus created designs representing the Enrollment, Employment, Enlistment, and Service pathways. Their work will now appear on diplomas for future Indiana graduates.

What an incredible accomplishment and a great example of the talent and creativity of our CTE students. Congratulations to Tyson, Klaus, and Mr. Murray on this statewide recognition!

One last visit before graduation ❤️

Our Human & Social Services CTE students stopped by Monroe Elementary to spend time with the second graders they’ve mentored and tutored throughout the year through their Work-Based Learning experience. The relationships they built made a lasting impact on both the elementary students and our future professionals.
