Hello Ford Students and Families!
We are currently in the final stretch of our school year, and it has been an amazing year with remarkable outcomes. At this point, our students have accounted for 3624 post-secondary credentials earned. A total of 5012 work-based learning experiences for our Career and Technical Education (CTE) students. These experiences have included presentations, field trips, industry professional evaluations, job shadowing, job opportunities, and pre-apprentice programs. It's truly incredible!
Additionally, we have 66 students pursuing apprenticeship programs, 78 students enrolled in certificate programs, 132 students working towards associate degrees, 298 students aiming for bachelor's degrees, and 184 students entering the workforce directly. This represents a diverse mix of students, each on their unique pathway.
Knowing that our students have their "next steps" in place is outstanding. I hope the energy and enthusiasm continue, and that their passion and determination lead to successful opportunities. I genuinely look forward to hearing about their achievements!
Kind regards,
Stephanie Bigelow, M.A., L.P.C.
