💻 Happy IT Professionals Day!

Today, we’re celebrating our future IT professionals! Through their CTE pathway, these students are building real-world skills to prepare for careers in the IT field.

For the past two and a half weeks, they’ve been getting hands-on experience disassembling computers for recycling. Now, they’re putting their troubleshooting skills to the test!

We can’t wait to see where these future tech pros go! 💻

Happy IT Professionals Day to the team that keeps us connected! From troubleshooting technical issues and restoring internet service to keeping our systems running behind the scenes, your work makes a difference every single day. Thank you for everything you do for our students and staff!

You’re invited! 🎺
