At the Rotary Club meeting today, Sulphur Springs High School students highlighted several of the Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs of study offered at the school.
Students presenting information about the law enforcement program included Evan Patrick and Michelle Tijerin. Jasmin Kessler-Cordova, Priscilla Gaspar and Tyler Warner discussed the animal science program; while Amanda Hernandez, Orianna Arizmendez, Olyvia Palacious and Jeremy Resendiz. Additionally, Karen Martinez and Jack Bain discussed the entrepreneurship program and Tate Smith briefed the Rotarians about the architecture program at SSHS.
“The students did an outstanding job in presenting today,” said Jenny Arledge, SSHS CTE Director.
Last month, students Jillian Jumper Clancy Mayo, Mykylie Meador, Ella Ray, Madelyn Sherman, Michelle Mejia and Khira Young updated the Rotarians their experiences and take-aways from RYLA (Rotary Leadership Youth Award) Camp, a camp for a select group of students who excel in leadership and school and community service the Rotary Club is helping develop future leaders. Stress management, conflict resolution, delegation, facilitation skills, and goal setting are a few of the things TYLA camps and summits can teach.
