This is the time of year most students begin to think about what's next after high school. Carlé High School students continue to prepare for colleges and other opportunities that await then in the “real” world.
James Fairless, a wonderful representative for UTI, came to Carlé High School on Jan. 5 with a great attitude and outlook of the potential all of our students have.
“He had a really great Power Point presentation for the students,” said Verna Rogers.
“Jobs in technology is our future,” he said, “and working on cars will never be outsourced.”
At Carlé High School we have a fabulous media and design group, but with this passion quality tools are essential. That is why the media students and Carlé High School would like to thank Mike Boyce for fixing our media room's cutting blade. This is a tool used for various projects such as cutting metal for plaques.
“Thanks to Clearlake Machine Shop, dull edges are a thing of the past,” said Stevie Cook, one of media's head designers.
We take pride in our school, that is why on Monday, Jan. 10, Carlé High School will break into teams to clean up our campus. We like to frequently come together to ensure the quality of not only the campus itself but also our students. We have learned to take pride in the very thing we take care of, our school.
This week's student of the week was Bianca Frias.
“Bianca has a really creative mind and uses it to her fullest extent,” said teacher Verna Rogers.
Bianca completed and presented her portfolio and will graduate within the next two weeks. Congratulations to this wonderful artist and person.
New students include Ashlee Ables, Shannika Chandler, Steven Fogg, Monica Jackson, Nick Padnessa, Tyler Stroup, Dennis Warner, Austin Weldon and Christina Green. We welcome the new students to enjoy the Carlé way and hope they find great success here.
Upcoming events consist of:
Jan. 14: Team DUI will gather the students to talk about drunk drivers and the dangers that come along with it.
Jan. 17: Paintball, thanks again to Michael and Renee Skidmore the students will enjoy another Saturday together paintballing.
