Winn CTE Days

 February is Career and Technical Education month, and C.C. Winn High School CTE Department showcased its programs over the course of an amazing three-day Career Fair. Not only did the fair highlight the many opportunities available through the various CTE programs, but the Career Fair also allowed students to meet with different employers who can offer guidance in the industry’s most in-demand fields that align with CTE programs of study.

In conjunction with the Career Fair, CCWHS counselors conducted sessions for students in which they discussed pre-registration, credits, and programs of study. Incoming freshmen were given a tour of the campus and also visited the Career Fair. By attending the CTE Career Fair, eighth-grade students were able to become acquainted with all the options that are available to them through CTE. The CTE Department and the Texas Workforce joined forces on Day 3 of our event to provide the Junior class with immediate employment opportunities. “Hiring Day” was a huge hit!

Thank you to the Texas Workforce Board and to all federal, state, and local employers for their role in the success of our Career Fair.

Special recognition to our EPISD Board, Superintendent Mr. Samuel Mijares, Deputy Superintendent for Curriculum & Instruction Mr. John Cox, Executive Director for Instructional Services Mr. David Camarillo, CTE Director Ms. Ana Laura Castillon, Assistant Director Mr. William “Billy” Davis, C.C Winn Principal Mr. Jesus Diaz-Wever, and all administration for their unconditional support.

This event came to fruition through the hard work of CCWHS CTE Department Head Mrs. Martha Hernandez, Head Counselor Mrs. Marilu Uriegas, and all the amazing CTE teachers and counselors from C.C. Win
