February is National Career Technology Education Month

During the month of February, Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs across the country showcase their programs and students’ successes to their community, policymakers and business leaders.

 

This year’s theme is “Career and Technical Education Works!” to emphasize that CTE works for students, business and industry and the economy. 

CTE programs can be found in SBISD middle and high schools and in colleges throughout Texas. The programs prepare students to be college-and career-ready by providing core academic skills, technical skills, and job-specific skills. 

As the Texas Legislature develops new graduation plans for high school students, CTE is at the forefront of that change. 

 

High school students involved in CTE are more engaged, perform better and graduate at higher rates. The 2011 average high school graduation rate for students concentrating in CTE programs in Texas is was 86%,  our district was 90% and CTE in SBISD was 94%. Similar success can be seen as CTE students enjoy a lower dropout rate than district average and much lower than the state. 

In the Houston area, half of the fastest growing jobs and job openings over the next decade will require an associates degree or technical certification.

 

For more information on some of SBISD's outstanding CTE programming, visit the CTE website.

Memorial High prepares for South Pacific

Memorial High School’s Theatre Department will present Rogers and Hammerstein’s award-winning musical, South Pacific, beginning Feb. 21.

A classic American love story set during World War I, South Pacific tells the story of a Navy nurse, Ensign Nellie Forbush, who falls in love with Emile de Becque, a French plantation owner. The couple’s relationship grows complex due to the era’s racial barriers, leading to Forbush’s struggle to accept Becque’s mixed-race children.

This issue of prejudice is candidly explored in song, too. Set in the sunny South Pacific islands, the famous production features tropical sets, catchy dancing and costumes that range from grass skirts to military uniforms.

The show is directed by Nicole Rae Morgan. Performances will be at 7:30 pm on Feb. 21, 23, 28 and March. 1-2, with a matinee scheduled at 2:30 p.m. on March. 2. Tickets for South Pacific cost $15, and they’re available for purchase online.
