Governor Cooper Declares CTE Month

 

Eighth Graders Visit SCC

8th grade students from Starmount and Forbush Middle Schools had a great time last Friday at the Surry Community College Career Fair! Our students learned so much about the opportunities available to them once they graduate from high school!

Future Freshmen Attend Events

Forbush and Starmount High Schools recently held events for rising 9th grade students, giving them the opportunity to learn more about the various course offerings and extracurricular activities available at both schools. 

Our CTE classes and student organizations were well represented!

Construction Core Students Practice with a Safety Harness

Mr. Cockerham’s Construction Core students have been learning about fall arrest systems.  

Students participated in practice as well!

Students Learn About Diversity

Students at FHS in Mrs. Brown’s Principles of Family and Human Services classes learned about diversity with apples. 

On the inside there are more similarities than differences. 😊

Child Development Students Practice Skills

Students in Child Development class at SHS are learning about fine vs gross motor skills. I wanted the class to do an activity that would teach them a skill and understand the topic at the same time. I decided to teach a life skill---how to sew buttons. The class had fun using their fingers and some felt like cats with yarn; loops, tangles, and knots! A few said their hands got tired. All can now replace a missing button. Yay! - Ms. Ferrelli

SHS Students Build Birdhouses

Students in Mr. Tutterow’s Core Construction class are making birdhouses.  This project allows them to demonstrate they can safely use both hand and power tools and read plans. 

Another good example of hands-on learning in CTE!
