Spotlight on CTE CTSO students during CTE Month.
On Monday, February 10th, Dr. Hawkins, Assistant Principal of MHS, came in as a guest speaker in Taylor Hughes' Sports and Event 2 Course about her profession as an Athletic Trainer. Sports and Event 2 students are currently learning about legal issues in Sports and Event Marketing. Her topic of focus was how concussion protocol has changed over the course of her career. Students have been watching the PBS documentary called "A League of Denial" which focuses on the concussion crisis and the NFL. Dr. Hawkins also talked briefly about the process of becoming an Athletic Trainer. Thank you, Dr. Hawkins!

Celebrating CTE Month February 2025!
Congratulations to students in Mrs. Peterson's Block 3 Food and Nutrition Class 1 for passing their ServSafe Food Handler Certification.
As part of CTE month, Mitchell CTE hosted a half-court shot contest at Mitchell High School on Tuesday, February 4th, at the Mitchell vs. Heritage basketball game. This event was used to bring awareness to the CTE programs at Mitchell High School and highlighted our CTE student enrollment, course offerings, pathways, and credentialing rates.
During halftime at the Varsity Boy’s game, everyone who attended the game was invited to step onto the court and attempt a half-halfcourt shot. Many students of all ages from both Mitchell County Schools and Yancey County Schools attempted to make the shot. Several students made it and won a prize bundle that consisted of a Mitchell CTE t-shirt, notebook, and magnet.
The lucky winner from Mitchell High School was 10th grader Tate Pitman, pictured here with his CTE t-shirt.
The Conover Workplace Readiness Certification is a program designed to help individuals demonstrate their readiness for employment by evaluating and certifying key skills that are essential for success in the workplace. It focuses on a range of competencies that are critical for professional development, including soft skills and work habits.
The Conover MECA certification can be particularly valuable for honors students as they focus on completing a specific career path by helping them align their strengths with the demands of their chosen field. For example, an honors student pursuing a career in healthcare or business can use the certification to enhance their emotional intelligence, improve workplace communication, and develop motivation techniques that will make them more effective in team-based environments or leadership roles. As students gain deeper self-awareness and career insights through the certification, they are better equipped to navigate the emotional challenges and interpersonal dynamics of their chosen profession.
Great job!

Mrs. Taylor Hughes' first block Career Management class had 100% attainment on their Conover Workplace Readiness Certification. The Conover Workplace Readiness Program is a career preparation and soft skills development tool designed to help individuals become successful in the workplace. It's often used in schools, workforce development programs, and community organizations to prepare people for employment. The program emphasizes soft skills, which are critical for long-term success but are often overlooked in traditional education or job training.
