This school year has been a significant one for Castleberry, with exciting developments underway. Not only are we building new CTE classrooms, but we are also introducing additional pathways and programs. Our students are gaining valuable skills, participating in enriching field trips, engaging in competitions, and demonstrating the excellence that defines Castleberry. Our dedicated CTE teachers and staff play a crucial role in making these opportunities possible. Through sponsoring clubs, organizing guest speakers, and connecting students with unique experiences, they are broadening horizons and helping students explore career pathways. The CTE programs are equipping students with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in their future careers, providing them with every advantage to thrive. Congratulations to our DECA members who are advancing to state! PROGRAM SPOTLIGHTS CONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURE Paul Mayhan A total of 61 students successfully completed their OSHA 10 certification prior to the Christmas break. This achievement not only qualifies them for advanced courses within the Construction and Architecture pathway, but also grants them the necessary credentials to engage in hands-on work with tools in the construction lab. Additionally, the certification serves as a significant advantage as they begin seeking employment, equipping them with an essential qualification that is highly valued by employers in the construction industry. This accomplishment demonstrates their commitment to safety and professionalism, further enhancing their job readiness and career prospects in the field. HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM   Lacey Ferrier Our Hospitality and Tourism students have been very busy this year. They have helped cater different events and hosted the top 10% ornament party. Many of our students stayed late for 7th Grade Parent Night and served up spaghetti to Castleberry families. We appreciate all their hard work. Students also had the opportunity to attend an open house at Tarrant County College for their new Culinary Arts facility. They learned about proper storage of food and how to build a balanced/nutritious plate. Students also got to decorate their own cookie.   EDUCATION AND TRAINING   Brandy Aylesbury Our education classes practiced teaching craft lessons to the rest of their classmates.  Each group planned and led a Holiday craft.  Students were practicing effective instruction techniques and classroom management by teaching their classmates how to make various crafts. They also focused on their self confidence, team work, and leadership skills.  Seniors will be taking steps in the Spring to acquire their Education Aid I certification. With this certification they can begin working in a classroom as soon as they graduate.   pRINCIPLES OF AV TECH @ IMMS Kimberly Phillips 8th grade students in Principles of AV Tech have had a very productive and engaging semester so far. They are currently wrapping up their Adobe Illustrator Unit, where they've gained valuable skills in graphic design. Throughout the unit, students learned to use various tools and techniques in Illustrator to create unique designs. One of the highlights was the Spirograph effect, which allowed students to explore geometric patterns and create intricate, colorful designs that showcase both their creativity and technical ability. Along with the Spirograph project, students also had the opportunity to design and create their own custom Lego sets. This project encouraged them to think critically about design principles, as they developed their own ideas for Lego pieces and structures, all while mastering Illustrator's vector-based tools. In two weeks, the class will transition into their photography unit, where they'll start learning the fundamentals of photography, including composition, lighting, and editing techniques. This hands-on approach is giving students a comprehensive understanding of digital media, and they’re excited for the upcoming challenges in photography. 7TH GRADE PARENT NIGHT Michelle Owen In the beginning of January, 7th grade students and parents were inviting to Irma Marsh Middle School for a spaghetti dinner and information about the course offereings in 8th grade at IMMS. High school students presented the different course offerings, giving valuable information and insight about IMMS and CHS electives. 7th grade students have the opportunity to sign up for up to three CTE courses that count as high school credit in 8th grade. These classes are the foundation to many of our high school pathways and introduce students to our career programs. 7th Grade Parent Night Presentation Personal Graduation Plan INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATIONS Michelle Owen As part of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, many of our high school students will be earning industry-based certifications (IBCs) this year. These certifications are designed to help students become career-ready by the time they graduate and are recognized by various industries. This year, up to 310 students will have the opportunity to earn these valuable credentials. Our district offers a variety of IBCs to cater to align with each CTE pathway. For example, our graphic design students will take the Adobe Photoshop certification test, while cybersecurity students will complete the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals exam, focusing on cloud computing. Health science students in the Practicum of Health Science program will be working towards the Patient Care Technician (PCT) certification. In addition, we offer other certifications such as Stukent Social Media Marketing, ServSafe Manager, and NCCER Core. These certifications help students gain important skills that will serve them well in their future careers.
