HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (May 17, 2018) — The 22nd Annual Career & Technical Education Scholars’ Reception sponsored by Pardee Hospital recognized 121 graduating students Thursday, for their academic mastery in Career & Technical Education courses.
Each scholar completed at least four Career & Technical Education credits, maintained a 3.25 GPA in CTE courses and overall 3.0 GPA, received three teacher recommendations for the honor.
In 2017-18, CTE students – many of whom are this year’s CTE Scholars – earned a total of 2,200 industry credentials, and averaged an 86.2 percent proficiency score on CTE end-of-course tests, which is 7.7 percentage points higher than the state average and a 2.1 percentage point increase from the previous year’s average.
Additionally, more than 60 CTE students participated in career internships this year, and about 100 students participated in the Made In Henderson County Job Fair sponsored by the Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development, where more than 80 advanced manufacturing positions were available.
