Teacher Academy Students
In Teacher Academy, the ideal type of student would be one who is interested in the field of education, hard working, adaptable and most importantly have a passion for children. Many students have came out of the CTE program to go on to college and are now in our local elementary schools as teachers or assistant teachers. Students learn so much about the teaching environment, and where they would want to be in the feild of education.
