CTC at Fort Osage

The @FOCTC graduation ceremony was a huge success! Honoring graduates for completing their program of study, recognizing the industry partners and thanking Blue Springs, Grain Valley and Oak Grove Schools for their partnership. #fortproud

This morning the Fort Osage Fire District collaborated with the @FOCTC Fire Science students to perform a live burn training. We value our business partners! #fortproud

Always enjoy connecting with the Fort Osage retired teachers. The culinary arts students prepared an amazing meal for everyone to enjoy! #fortproud

Fort Osage future freshmen, stop by our CTC, Robotics, and Cybersecurity tables at @FortOsageSchool Freshmen Preview Night! We're in the gym until 7:30 🩵

Thank you @JoeNicola for stopping by @FOCTC to learn more about @FRC5801.

Super excited to be hanging out with @FOCTC @FRC5801 for this season's kickoff!!!! Lets go robots!!!

Amazing job by this @FOCTC group!!

Getting to hang out with the @FOCTC E-studies program for this great event @CampusGroundCTC. Hoping to get some time with the big man in red to tell him my wishlist!

What an honor to have our students help with the Dining with Heros event put on by @herofundusa! Our @FOCTC Welding students even manufactured a tailgate BBQ grill for the silent auction. #ctcleads

Looking forward to a great week @NationalFFA convention with the @FOCTC FFA chapter. Getting the energy level up to begin the day.

Students from Health Science, EMT & Sports Medicine spent this past weekend at the HOSA Fall Leadership Conference. Students engaged in workshops to become stronger leaders as they plan upcoming chapter events like competitions, community service projects, and fundraisers.

Who’s ready for some wrestling??

@jasteffens It was our pleasure having you visit @FOCTC!

Adv. Computer Engineering will have the chance to work with NAO AI Edition Robots in the spring semester. "We're adapting," shares Evan, a senior from Blue Springs South. "Some jobs have gone away, but new ones are being developed. This training will help us stay competitive."

Cybersecurity students are taking a closer look at the news and how media impacts their industry. "They read a lot," shares instructor Jim Lumpkin. "Our industry moves fast. They also have to discern what's real and what's not. What's fake? What's someone's opinion versus fact?"

Our Fire Science & EMT program had so much fun helping out Centerpoint Medical Center with their annual mass-casualty exercise last week. Some of our students even made connections with staff and have job shadows lined up to further explore their profession!

The CTC hosted its third annual Industry Appreciation Breakfast today, with over 50 guests from our sending school districts, chambers of commerce, businesses, and community organizations joining us for a delicious breakfast prepared by our very own Culinary Arts students.

@BSSD_CIC Congratulations!

The CIC is now a Project ADAM Heart Safe School. Way to go team!

One of the new additions to CTC is our Intro to Robotics class. This one-hour program offers Fort Osage freshmen the chance to dive into entry-level robot construction and programming, giving them an opportunity to explore a potential pathway early in their high school career.

Had the BEST time at Rink Ratz for our first @SkillsUSA social. CSI, Fire/EMT, Construction, Auto, HVAC, Cybersecurity, & Nail Tech students & even a few instructors took to the floor. CSI dominated the limbo & splits contests, with pizza & arcade games to finish off the night!
