Tyler ISD Career & Technology Cosmetology students participated in a clipper class with our industry partner, Great Clips. About 35 students learned three different haircuts using clippers, engaged in dialogue with our partners, and very importantly, had fun! One of the partners previously received her Cosmetology education from us right here at the CTC, and is now a Salon Manager.

Griffin Elementary visited the Career & Technology Center today and participated in some interesting hands-on tasks to help introduce them to Career & Technical Education (CTE). CTC teachers created some fun tasks such as cookie making, wound care, Lego building, animal care, roofing, nail care, how to use proper protective equipment, sanding a car, teaching activities, and finger printing. It was a great way to engage students at the end off another great school year in Tyler ISD!
