Happy Friday, Tigers!

We hope you had a fantastic first week. We're so glad to have everyone back!

We’re excited to launch something new: CT Friday Fab 3.

Each week, we’ll highlight three great things happening in our school family in a short video. This idea has been brought to life by Jas Dickey, a former Cape Central High Tiger, SkillsUSA Nationals medalist, and now our video intern. 🎥 You may have seen her on a billboard around town for her SkillsUSA medal!

🌟 CT Friday Fab 3

1. Welcome Back!
Thank you to everyone for making our first week a success.

2. Exploring Careers with Scouting America
A new partnership gives students hands-on opportunities through field trips and the Exploring Program, connecting them with real-world careers.

3. Advanced Welding at CTC
Our new state-of-the-art welding facility lets students train locally in Welding I, II, and Advanced Welding—no long drives required! Explore more programs in the CTC Opportunity Catalog.
