Welcome To William D. Ford Career-Technical Center

Our students have been achieving remarkable things, and our instructors have been equally inspiring. When we discuss real industry experience, it's essential to highlight the incredible contributions from both our staff and students. I couldn't be prouder of the outstanding outcomes we've witnessed over the past month! Stay on the lookout for additional accolades!!

NEWSLETTER: The Pipeline - March 14, 2025

March is Self-Harm Awareness Month. If a student has been hurting themselves on purpose, the real hurt is inside. Self-harm is used to cope in the moment but can end up becoming a dangerous cycle. 

International Social Emotional Learning Day on March 10th is a way to celebrate the way SEL is “Uplifting Hearts, Connecting Minds.” Studies show SEL reduces stress and promotes self-regulation, self-awareness, social awareness, decision-making, and relationship building.
