First year Medical Skills students from the Wood County Technical Center spent an incredible afternoon touring the health classrooms and labs at Washington State Community College. A highlight for everyone was the time spent in the human donor lab.
Why Career Technical Education (CTE)? This is a question every student and parent should be exploring. CTE opens multiple doors into future possibilities for students. Don't take our word for it, our students have voice and use it everyday answering the question, "Why CTE?"
