Welcome To William D. Ford Career-Technical Center

Dear Career Tech Families,

Exciting things are happening at William D. Ford Career Technical Center! Several field trips are taking place, giving students opportunities to connect their classroom learning to the world of work. Across our programs, students are building their skills through hands-on learning, and we are proud to celebrate second-year students who are landing jobs in their career fields!

Thank you to the families who attended parent-teacher conferences. We appreciate your partnership in supporting your student’s success. If you were unable to attend, please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns or to discuss your student’s progress.

Mrs. Pringle
Principal/ CTE Director

Children's Grief Awareness Day was created to emphasize the unique struggles youth face when grieving and provide ways we can help support them through this challenging time. According to the New York Life Foundation, nearly 5 million youth under 18 will lose a parent or sibling.

This year, we began a partnership with Capturing Kids Hearts. I had heard of this organization and the positive impact it made on their schools. In May, I attended a two-day training and could easily see why. I could immediately see the potential it had for our students!
