The Southern Arizona Construction and Career Days event at the Tucson Rodeo grounds featured more than 200 different vendors and several-hundred volunteers. In addition to hundreds of TUSD High School CTE students and teachers, f or the first time, our TUSD Middle School students attended the event. The Construction technologies students combined a service-learning project with a hands on demo, making dog houses that will be donated to the Humane Society.

CTE Teachers and Student Ambassadors hosted more than 3,000 middle school students at Catalina High November 28-30. The gym and grounds were set up carnival-style with tents and booths featuring every CTE program in the district. In 1-hour rotations, future freshmen experienced bioscience black-light experiments, computerized babies, make-and-take bird house construction, a virtual reality sprayer for Automotive Collision Repair, feasted on treats prepared by the Culinary Arts students and left with a custom t-shirt printed on-site from Tucson High's Red Army Graphic Arts students. Take a look at the overview from Day 1 below.

 CTE Student Ambassadors are the  peer-leaders and trained as spokespeople for our CTE programs. The most recent leadership training took place at Old Tucson.  Students learn how to communicate about CTE and JTED programs at school and district-wide outreach and recruiting events like middle school visits.
