🌟 Building Career Pathways Through CTE! 🌟
We are thrilled to highlight the incredible work happening at Clay High School through their Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs!

Today, CHS welcomed business partners and district leaders to tour these vital programs, witnessing students gaining hands-on, future-ready skills and connecting their passions directly to careers.
A huge thank you to Superintendent Broskie, our School Board members, CHS Principal Dr. Jen Halter, CTE Supervisors Alice Paulk and Kelly Mosley, and CTE Coach Mrs. Wirt for their dedication and support!
CCDS is investing in pathways that work!

A beautiful performance of the National Anthem and patriotic selections by the talented Paterson Chorus directed by Kelly Lotze.
