“If they can believe it—they can achieve it!” Thank you to the amazing women (industry partners, principals, & parents) who joined for the @cte_innovation Women’s Day recruitment event! @gcschools Students have to see themselves in a future career before they take the first step!

The best morning presenting with two of our @cte_innovation teachers at @SCASAnews Stem Day! “Proud parent” moment listening to them share the innovative work we are doing in @gcschools CTE with project based learning, Graduation Plus, and collaboration with industry! 🧡

LOVED hosting these @leagueacademysc and @TMSCenturions students with GirlUpGVL to share opportunities at @cte_innovation and all career centers in @gcschools! #nationalCTEmonth @mlanderson52 your girls were excited I know you 😉

“The strength of our student relationships makes the difference in translating our passion for teaching into their passion for learning.” 🍎 What an incredible day of all @cte_innovation teachers building relationships with all students! #NationalCTEMonth @gcschools

Addison has one of the BEST student resumes I’ve seen in 16 years! From day 1 at @cte_innovation she asked for mentorship in public speaking/confidence and she’s got it! So proud to support her as the BEST representative of @gcschools in aerospace engineering @brhstigers

Loving my new @cte_innovation pullovers embroidered by @HillcrestHSRams school based business, Ramtastic Goods! Mrs. Scott’s students did a wonderful job and got to enhance their employability skills!

When the @cte_innovation 2nd year clean energy and emerging automotive students are learning to use Autodesk/Fusion360 and you say you’ll buy them donuts if they can successfully 3D design/model a donut. Challenge accepted! 🍩 Good gracious I love our kiddos!

Ashton loves and supports our @cte_innovation students! She willingly takes any big ideas I share for the center and makes it a reality! So grateful to have this gem of a counselor—celebrating her big this #NSCW25! @ASCAtweets

Opening a @gcschools school—involved much research and problem solving. LOVED teaching our Emer. Auto class this morning and helping students “think big” in the engineering design step of solving problems & research. Using go-carts definitely got them energized! #foreverateacher

We see the positive effects of brain breaks in our @cte_innovation students! We provide options for physical, emotional, and mental breaks each day!

Honored to present with 2 of my @cte_innovation rockstar teachers at the @SCASAnews STEM Day and share the amazing things happening in @gcschools! ⭐️

@joemcbreen So cool, Joe!

The Innovation Center Drone Performance Team is pushing boundaries and elevating their incredible shows to new heights by collaborating with professional 3D animators from Firefly Drone Systems. Over the next two days, the team will work with industry experts from @FireflyDrones to refine their skills and take their performances to the next level. Under the leadership of Mr. Danny Hernandez, these high school students exemplify dedication, creativity, and a commitment to constant and never-ending improvement. Their passion and drive are a testament to what can be achieved when education and innovation come together. Be sure to catch one of their performances in 2025.
