Hello William D. Ford Career-Technical Center Students, Families, and Staff,
Second semester at William D. Ford Career-Technical Center provides students with many opportunities to put into practice the learning they have acquired. One option available is Work Based Learning.
Work Based Learning integrates academic learning with real-world application to provide paths to educational and career advancement. This approach holds great promise for our students as it provides access to high-quality work experiences and often serves as a stepping stone to an entry-level position upon graduation.

I would like to share my thoughts on the positive impact of competition in our journey through career technical education. Although competition may seem intimidating, it presents an incredible opportunity for growth and learning here at Ford Tech.
Competing challenges us to go beyond our limits, think creatively, and continuously enhance our skills. It teaches us lessons in resilience, perseverance, and the significance of striving for excellence.
For students, participating in competitions is a chance to exhibit their talents, gain recognition, and build confidence in real-world settings. Parents, your support during these experiences is invaluable, encouraging a mindset of determination and a passion for success.
Let's welcome competition as a pathway to personal and professional development, working together to attain our goals and create a brighter future.
Kind regards,
Stephanie Bigelow M.A., L.P.C.

Remember to stay focused and motivated, and make the most of every opportunity to learn and grow. Whether you're preparing for competitions, completing projects, or mastering new skills, every step you take brings you closer to your goals and aspirations.
Let's keep supporting and uplifting one another, celebrating our achievements, and facing the challenges ahead with confidence and determination.

Dear Career Tech Students and Families,
On April 8th, a total solar eclipse will occur over William D. Ford Career-Technical Center, causing the skies to darken and transform the day into night. According to scientists, the sun disappears during an eclipse because it aligns perfectly with the moon at the right angle and distance. Although there are very few things that are perfect in life, this scene may seem magical or ominous to many.
