(Scroll down for photos) Sun Prairie students were impressive as they showed Wisconsin's State Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Tony Evers, their high school and talked about the wide array of Career and Technical Education programs available.
February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month and Dr. Evers chose to visit Sun Prairie as one of five schools to hear about their CTE programs. Dr. Evers also heard about the school district's relationships with the business community in Sun Prairie as the two work cooperatively to create additional pathways to graduation. “Students need a wide range of rigorous, authentic career development experiences throughout their PK-12 education,” said Dr. Evers. “These will help them learn skills as well as chart their future course, which is an essential part of graduating ready for further education or the workforce.”
