Today I signed a proc declaring Feb. as Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month! CTE is helping students find the path that best fits their talents, inclinations, and goals while equipping them with skills they’ll need to thrive and enter the workforce.

The Morningside Greenhouse has added Nile Talapia! We are also thrilled to see how much produce has been collected. We recently harvested 4 pounds of spinach! We can’t wait to see the rest of the amazing things our students will be learning at the Rosen Ag Center this spring!

Students in wildlife ecology met Harlan the barred owl today as a follow up to their owl pellet dissection lab this week. #sccsd #cte #dorothypecautnaturecenter

“The owl is a time honored emblem of knowledge and wisdom” I was (literally) here by the owl today. An FFA Advisor dream come true. #TeachAg Iowa FFA Association National FFA Thank you #DorothyPecautNatureCenter

Our agriculture students spent the day with Harlan the barred owl learning all about adaptations, habitats, conservation, & owl pellet analysis. #dorothypecautnaturecenter Sioux City Career Academy #CTE #SCCSD

Students in our ag pathway have been working at the Morningside University greenhouse all year. Today they harvested from the seeds they planted. #sccsd #cte #girlsincte #farmtotable

Career Academy students are introduced to a horse to learn more about them siouxlandnews.com/news/local/car…

Students at the Sioux City Career Academy had the opportunity to learn more about horses as part of the agriculture pathway. Students were able to pet the horse, and even feed him a couple treats. A huge thanks to EHS junior Kalaya and her family for bringing him down! #SCCSD

I passed by Jill Risdal fashion class. They were identifying undertones and the colors that accentuate each person and their unique characteristics. I learned that I look best wearing winter colors! 🧣 Sioux City Career Academy Sioux City Community School District #FashionDesign #Styling
