During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the achievements and ongoing initiatives of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in Davie County. The meeting showcased the recognition of students involved in the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and emphasized the significant role of advisors in facilitating these opportunities.

The CTE program encompasses 16 career clusters, with Davie County High School offering 15 of these. Students can explore 32 different career pathways through over 50 individual courses, supported by a dedicated team of 20 high school teachers and 9 middle school teachers. The program aims to engage, equip, and empower students to become successful citizens and leaders in a global economy.

A key focus of the meeting was the implementation of new legislation requiring school districts to provide electronic career development plans for students, starting in the eighth grade. This initiative aims to enhance students' awareness of career options and assist them in planning their high school courses accordingly. The platform, Major Clarity, will also keep parents informed about their children's interests and career aspirations.

Statistics presented during the meeting indicated a strong enrollment in CTE classes, with a graduation rate of 99% for students who concentrated in CTE pathways. The program also aims for all students to earn at least one credential during high school, with funding available to cover associated costs.

Several notable achievements were recognized, including Angela Reeves being named the NCAT CTE Teacher of the Year and former student Grayson Haines, who showcased his CTE experience at various conferences. The meeting concluded with a celebration of the hard work of CTE advisors and the success of student organizations such as FBLA and HOSA, which have been active at both state and national levels.
