Highlights

Bringing Teachers Back to Their Roots

"Besides helping to alleviate the teacher shortage, [the Career and Technical Education Department] encourages people to come back and teach in the communities they were part of in high school, which is a great opportunity, especially for more rural areas that need more teachers. It makes the teachers a lot more connected to their students and their community.”
