Career Development Month! Our OCS middle school CTE teachers explored the Careers Hub in Discovery Education and ways to bring career exploration into their classrooms. Helping students connect what they learn today to future career opportunities starts early!

On November 3, Orange County CTE teachers toured CTE classrooms at Cedar Ridge High School! Seeing each other's spaces, sharing teaching strategies, and learning about the programs we offer our students helps us grow together. So much great work happening in OCS CTE!
