Subscribe to RSS Feed for Career-Tech Latest NewsHello Ford CTC Students and Families!
Welcome back to all our students! As we left for our break, I observed an incredible atmosphere filled with love, smiles, and an undeniable sense of community. Celebrating earned credentials, completed projects, and newly acquired skills showcases the vibrant journey we have collectively embarked upon this semester. The positive energy radiating from our students and their outstanding achievements is nothing short of inspiring and is a true testament to the power of education.
I am immensely proud of our students for not just meeting expectations but for surpassing them with remarkable determination. Their success is firmly anchored in the unwavering love, support, and enthusiasm from their teachers and classmates. The meaningful conversations and excitement they share with those who matter are pivotal to this growth.
Seeing students bring cherished recipes made with family members for our community celebrations was a powerful reminder of their creativity and community spirit. Their eagerness to share their creations and the stories behind them demonstrates their strong connections and appreciation for one another. Celebrating the unique qualities of our students is what makes Ford Tech special, and I am honored to witness this dynamic spirit.
As we move into the second half of the school year, I am truly inspired by how far we’ve come, and I am confident in what lies ahead. Our future expectations are not just aspirations; they are becoming a reality!
Kind regards!
Stephanie Bigelow, M.A., L.P.C.
