Director’s Corner
John Cervinsky
CKSD CTE Director
Once again, our CTE staff and students had a very productive school
year. All of our student leadership organizations did well at their
perspective local events and state level events with eighteen SkillsUSA
students heading to Kansas City this summer to compete at the national
level.
Our STEM based programs continue to grow. With the help from an
OSPI grant, we were able to offer an Aerospace Manufacturing course at
Central Kitsap High School this year. The grant provided training at
Boeing and for tools and equipment needs. We are also excited about
offering Project Lead The Way, a nationally recognized pre-engineering
program, at Olympic High School next year. Two courses, Introduction to
Engineering Design and Principles of Engineering, will be taught. The
FIRST Robotics, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), and SeaPerch
programs continue to grow at both the junior and senior high levels.
We had twenty-four Business and Marketing courses reapproved by
OSPI this year, and our new Financial Math course proved to be popular
choice with students to satisfy the third credit of math graduation
requirement.
I am also very proud of the fact that several of our CTE instructors have
been recognized at the state level for leadership and accomplishments in
their program areas, obtain advanced degrees, and national certification.
These are exciting times to be involved with Career and Technical
Education, and I am eager to continue our important work during the 201314 school year.
DECA Students Keep on Giving
OUTREACH DINNER
The 24th annual Outreach Dinner, hosted by
Olympic High School DECA students and advisor Ms. Laurie Shaw, moved their event to the
Bremerton Sons of Norway Hall due to the increased need for room. The students and volunteers served 1,000 pre-Thanksgiving meals to the
needy. All remaining non-perishable food, clothing and hygiene products were donated to charitable organizations and helped nearly 3,000 families in Kitsap County.
BLOOD DRIVES
Two blood drives were held this year through the
DECA leadership organization. Olympic High
School students registered 35 donors,18 of
which were first-time donors. Central Kitsap
High School students registered 32 donors and
23 were first-time donors. One pint of blood can
save up to 3 lives which makes these blood
drives so valuable.
