CTE Student Showcase - Business
“My favorite thing we have done in entrepreneurship this year is the stock market analysis project. I really enjoyed being able to not only learn and analyze the world of stocks, but also get to participate in a mock stock game as well. What I love most about my entrepreneurship class is Coach James' willingness and ability to create a class of learning and fun simultaneously. She is great at explaining things in a learnable manner and has an unwavering engagement toward her class. She brings fantastic energy and makes entrepreneurship a class that is worthwhile and beneficial. My entrepreneurship classes will help me in the future by paving the way and setting the baseline of my future in business. I wish to not only pursue a major in business, but potentially practice business in my future career. This class gives me the necessary knowledge to prepare myself and get ahead of the curve. Additionally, the class allows me to pursue my license at an early age and start my journey early. Ultimately, this class is providing me with an important understanding and skills within the business world, setting me up to flourish in my next stages of life.” ~ Gage Sanders
“My favorite thing I have done in Entrepreneurship this year is Shark Tank Fridays! What I love most about my Entrepreneurship class is all of the fun projects we do throughout the year! It will help me in the future to create a business, with financial stability, investing in stocks, and leadership skills!” ~ Hallie Hahn
“My favorite thing that I have done in BIM this year is when we had to design our own restaurants. The thing I love most about my BIM class is that it is very interesting and we learn a lot that will help in the future. BIM class will help me in the future by showing me the basics of starting my own business and teaching me how to use tools such as Microsoft Word and Google Sheets.” ~ Gordon Sage
“My favorite thing we have done in Principles of Business this year was getting to make our very own product planning sheet and project where we made our own fictional items that we have to give a shark tank like pitch with. What I love most about my Principles of Business class is that we actually learn how the business terminology translates into real world examples, and because of that it makes it far easier to learn the material. My Principles of Business class will help me in the future by preparing me to understand business negotiation, contracts, and things like how to manage credit.” ~ Levi Haider
“The favorite thing I've done in PB was when we made an item and had to advertise it to the class. I really like the teacher. She is very understanding and flexible, but also very educated in finance and business. This class informs you about how businesses work and financing like credit score, how to achieve and maintain good credit, and about credit reports.” ~ Lane Lawson

Yesterday, our Rocket Med students (Health Science & Exercise Science) got hands‑on experience checking vitals and assessing knee injury recoveries. Real skills. Real impact. 🩺✨ #RobinsonISD
CTE Student Showcase - Human Growth and Counseling
“My favorite thing we have done in Human Growth is learning about the younger ages ,especially 0-3 years old because it's very interesting to learn about how they develop, learn to interact with others, and learn to communicate. My favorite thing we have done in Counseling & Mental Health is learning the ways to cope with stress and/or anxiety because high school can be very stressful at times so it's nice to have a class where you can learn how to deal with those feelings. What I love most about my Human growth class is that it is practical and relatable because we learn about super important life-skills. What I love most about my Counseling & Mental Health class is having mental health days and having people there that also understand mental health so they could be there for you if you were struggling about mental health. My Human Growth class will help me in the future by helping me build the understanding of the human body for my future career. My Counseling & Mental Health class will help me in the future by helping me become better at teamwork, improve my academic work, and communication.” ~ Ashlyn McCuistion
“My favorite thing we've done in Human Growth is looking and learning about the realistic fetus models. I love the environment Coach Armes creates in the class, it is very welcoming and everyone gets along really well. I want to be a teacher when I am an adult, so Human Growth will help me know how to help my students and know what milestones I can help them reach at their age range.” ~ Riley Fanning

CTE Student Showcase - Law Enforcement
“My favorite thing we have done in Forensics this year was when we were learning trajectory using Nerf guns. We'd simply stand and shoot the Nerf gun at an angle and see how far it reaches. To me, there is something so fun about hearing the Nerf gun fire and watching the soft bullet soar down the hallway. I personally love how easy it is to learn in the class. The lectures that Mr. Day gives are easy to comprehend and engage with as long as you pay attention. Forensics classes helped widen my knowledge on how a crime can be solved, forcing me to think outside the box. Forensics classes will most definitely aid my future if I decide to further pursue Forensics, Ballistics, or any other sciences that involve crime scenes.” ~ Gavin Brink
“One of the absolute highlights of Forensics this year has to be the trajectory lab we did with Nerf guns. It was such a blast to take a break from the usual lectures and get hands-on with some "ballistics" practice, even if it involved foam darts instead of real projectiles! Mr. Day’s classroom was the perfect setting for it, as we got to apply high-level math and physics to track the flight paths and impact angles of our shots. It was the perfect blend of scientific precision and pure fun; we were literally playing with toys while simultaneously learning the complex way investigators reconstruct a scene based on where a projectile lands. Seeing the calculated trajectory match up with where the dart actually hit made the concepts click in a way that just reading a textbook never could. What makes my Forensics class so standout is the incredible environment Mr. Day creates; he has a real gift for maintaining a calm and safe atmosphere that makes even the most complex topics feel approachable. In a subject that can often be intense or high-pressure, his classroom feels like a steady home base where I can actually focus and get my work done without feeling overwhelmed. Having that sense of security is huge, it transforms the room from just a place to study evidence into a productive space where I feel comfortable diving deep into the material. Taking a high school forensic class gives me a massive "head start" on the analytical mindset needed for clinical psychology. It trains you to move past your first impressions and treat human behavior like a crime scene, where every detail is a piece of evidence that helps explain a larger story. You’ll learn to write meticulous reports, stay objective during intense situations, and understand the ethical boundaries that keep professional work safe and legal. By the time you reach your university-level psychology labs, you'll already have the "investigative muscles" to spot subtle patterns in a patient's behavior that others might overlook.” ~ Isabelle Mathis

“My favorite thing I have done in Principles of Education this year was when I was building my future classroom out of a shoe box. Ms. Roberts had told us there weren't many guidelines and just to describe what´s in your classroom and why it is there. The theme of my classroom was ¨Let´s take a deep dive into math¨, so I made the class decorated in underwater decorations and made it feel comfortable for the kids. What I love most about my Principles of Education class is honestly the people. We are such a diverse group and we all balance each other out. We have people who are in all honors , we have people that are involved in sports , we have people who all want the same future , but have different ways to get there. All of us in that class have some kind of connection. Being in a small class like that has taught me I'm incredibly smart and compassionate in my own way , and so is everyone else but they show it differently. Principles of Education will help me in my future because I want to be a first grade teacher. This class prepares me for some struggles and the reality of my future job. There are lessons and activities we do that help us be able to react correctly in a situation.” ~ Cora Peichoto
