“I like to apply the things we learn to projects and I like using the flight simulators.” Those are the words of Savannah Woods, a sophomore from Roosevelt High School. Savannah spent part of her fall semester at the CTE Academy taking Aviation I. What we learned about this Rough Rider is that this girl has goals and her teacher, Mrs. Mehlert, will attest and affirm her student’s determination. The teacher said, “Savannah is an incredibly hard worker who knows where she wants to go in life!” There is no doubt that Savannah is definitive and resolute with her goals – “I plan to go to flight school and then study aerospace or mechanical engineering.” Mrs. Mehlert added, “She is always willing to help her peers in Aviation.” Savannah was award her “See the Vision” award at Roosevelt High School not only because of her academic achievement and determination but also because of her willingness to be a wonderful classmate. Joining Savannah in recognition of her “See the Vision” award are two Roosevelt HS Administrators – Mrs. Katie Heavlin and Mr. Lance Luitjens. Congratulations, Savannah!

We have a new “first” at the CTE Academy. This is the first time we have given two students a “See the Vision” award at the same time. Meet Claire and Bailey Buskohl. Claire Buskohl is a sophomore at Jefferson High School and Bailey Buskohl is a junior at Jefferson High School. The students are cousins, good friends, in Intro to Audio/Video Technology this fall semester and plan to be in Digital Animation this spring semester. Their teacher, Mr. Hoffman, says the cousins make a great team because they both put a great amount of effort into their media projects. Both students are creative, focused, positive and bring a constructive attitude to class every day. Bailey likes the CTE Media program because “it provides high quality software with creative freedom” and Claire plans to use her CTE experience “to help get involved in digital media.” Mr. Hoffman says, “I appreciate their efforts!” Bailey and Claire, we are not sure where your creative skills will take your careers, but we do know you both work hard and bring a great attitude to your CTE class. Those two characteristics will make the two of you - a dual of achievement!
Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season! There will be no school from Thursday, December 22-Monday, January 2. We look forward to seeing everyone again on Tuesday, January 3, 2023!
