Director's Message - Hello William D. Ford Career-Technical Center Students, Families, and Staff,
We welcomed 150 Wayne-Westland Community Schools 4th graders last week. Many of these students found their time visiting our campus to be enjoyable and inspirational. Many shared that they cannot wait to be a student at William D. Ford Career-Technical Center.
Thank you FordCTC students and staff for being so welcoming. I am very proud of the kindness the members of our learning community provided to our guests.
Almost 650 additional 4th graders will visit us in the next two weeks. Thanks in advance for your continued grace and patience.
I promise that "The Commons" will reopen as soon as these visits are complete.
With students in mind,
JaCinda Sumara
Principal, William D. Ford Career-Technical Center
Director, Career Technical Education and Early College

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.
Dear Career Tech Students and Families,
As we enter the final stretch of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the amazing journey we've been on together and look ahead to the exciting opportunities that await us in the final quarter.
I have to say, I'm so impressed and proud of every single one of our Career Tech students. The dedication, hard work, and perseverance throughout this semester have been truly inspiring, and I know you'll continue to do great things in the weeks to come.
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.
Wishing you all a successful and fulfilling end to the school year!
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.
