CTE Student Showcase - Principles of Agriculture
“My favorite thing we have done this year in Principles of Ag has to be learning about how to read notches on a pig's ears. The thing I love most about this class has to be how easy you're able to get a hang of what you're learning. For example when learning how to read the notches on pig's ears you just had to memorize where the notches would be to correspond to the number, such as the left ear tip means 81. The Principles of Ag class will help me in the future because it has taught me many common things I should know like the breeds of pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle. Whenever I own my own land and are able to purchase farm animals, I'll know the basic knowledge to be able to identify the correct breed without much trouble.” ~ Alivia Soukup
“My favorite thing I've done in ag this year was probably learning about different types of farm animals. I love how interesting the class is. I feel like everyday I learn something new. It will help me in the future if I ever decide to pick a job in agriculture.” ~ Audree Harris

CTE Student Showcase - Exercise Science
“My favorite thing that we have done this year would have to be using a goniometer testing our range of motions. I love the fact that what I'm learning in class will actually translate to the career I want to pursue in the future. Kinesiology will help me know all the bodily functions and movements and things like that to be able to help people in the world the job I decide to pursue.” ~ Cash Parsons
“My favorite thing we’ve done is the hands-on stuff like learning about injuries, taping, and how different muscles work, because it’s very interesting and you actually get to apply what you’re learning. I like that the class is interactive and connects to real life, especially with sports and fitness. It makes learning about the body way more understandable. Kinesiology will help me in the future by teaching me how the body moves and how to prevent injuries, which is useful for sports, future careers in health, or fitness in general.” ~ Mia Waller

CTE Student Showcase - Medical Terminology
“My favorite thing we have done in Med Term this year is the career case, because it allowed me to have a larger look at my potential future career. What I love about Med Term is doing labs that allow us to have a look into what some medical careers deal with. For example, we have been looking at bacteria around the school which gives us a look into the career of Bacteriologists and Microbiologists. I also love Med Term because it will help me in the future. For example, knowing medical terminology will help me communicate more proficiently and clearly, as it is used in the medical field daily. I also love that it teaches me the criteria I need to understand in order to be successful in my future career.” ~ Kaislee Moore

CTE Student Showcase - Anatomy & Physiology
“My favorite thing that I have done in Anatomy is probably histology. It was one of the first things we learned, but it's incredibly important to be able to understand the rest of the body systems. I also think it's interesting how the different shapes of cells in tissue are used for different functions and places in the body! The thing I love most about Anatomy is learning about the different diseases and disorders of every body system, and how to spot and treat those issues. I plan to study medicine and become an internal medicine physician, so learning anatomy and physiology of the body is one of the most important core parts to know before studying medicine.” ~ Sarah Lewis
“We just did a lymphatic system project, and I liked that It was a new style for the class. I like how we are able to work at our own pace. This class has given me a better idea on the type of work I could do in college.” ~ Cheyenne Faught

CTE Student Showcase - Health Science
“I absolutely loved the Teddy Bear Clinic at the Elementary School. Just seeing the kids still have a love for a teddy bear, and really play into the educational and fun aspect of it really made my heart glow. It also taught me how to engage with children because I hopefully want to work in Pediatrics! It was also pajama day which really added to the fun. What makes me love Health Science class is Ms.Garrett. She truly is the best and is so understanding. With our modules and study time for our program, she has really made it a very good, self paced class; which has helped in tremendous ways to not feel stressed or overwhelmed and has helped me not burn out! Health Science classes will help me in the future when applying to Nursing/PA school. Everything helps when you are applying for competitive programs, especially college programs. Graduating with a CCMA certificate will help me shine and show that I do have experience with clinical procedures and I am committed to my career. I also have it as a backup in case nursing is not for me, so I can still make a living!” ~ Nadaly Petty
“My favorite thing I did in Health science this year was the fair we did at the Junior High. It was fun to learn about and make a presentation over the career I want to do in the future. It was very interesting, and it was a great learning experience. I love that I get to have a community of people that want to be in the same field as me. The people I am sitting next to in the classroom today could be my coworkers tomorrow. Ms. Garrett is so amazing as well. She is very kind, and she is very helpful when I have questions. My Health Science class is very helpful for my future in the healthcare field. I get to learn about things like CPR and first aid, and I get to acquire the certifications needed for those medical emergencies. I am so glad I can earn these certifications now for a job application instead of later when it's required.” ~ Emma Bedwell
Today we recognize Ms. Garrett!
Ms. Garrett teaches Principles of Health Science plus Theory & Clinicals, expertly preparing students for next steps in healthcare—from CPR/BLS to CMA certifications.
