On Feb. 2, SISD hosted our Elective/Endorsement Fair– and this was the first time that we’ve ever been able to use CTE videos/Infomercials to help promote our classes. The videos were created and edited by the CTE Video Production students (also known as our Sports Media Production/Jumbotron team). The fair was a success- we had a large turnout, and the videos are great! They are hosted on our Cardinal You Tube channel (accessible through our district’s homepage, or by clicking on the link: CTE Videos/Infomercials
Also on Feb. 2, thirty of our Health Science Technology students were chosen to participate in SA Works’ City-Wide Job Shadow Day. It was a phenomenal experience and was highlighted on many of our local news channels.
