Practice it at home, school, or both to reset your mind and body. Thanks to our Climate Specialist, Ms. Nelson for another mindful exercise.

Our CTE programs love hands-on learning! Today, our CDL class participated in interactive activities including a matching game, blind challenge, and vocabulary review. After studying in class, instructor Mr. Creech took students outside to see the parts in person. These exercises give students a real-world perspective and prepare them for future work. We’re proud to offer a CDL program that helps students graduate with a CDL certificate.
