I’ve Got Something Better to Do

at Miami High School

If there’s one old cliché that is probably true, it’s that “idle hands are the devil’s

workshop.” It’s true for all of us, adults and

students, and Miami High School is committed to finding better things to do – more rigorous classes, more interesting CTE programs, stronger athletic teams.

As a small school in a rural community, we run these programs on a financial shoestring, including CTE grants and parent engagement support from the Governor’s Office of Youth,

Faith & Family.

Jalen Pike

... signs commitment letter to run cross country at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa.

Thursday brought an example of what can happen when a student commits her mind and body in pursuit of a goal. Senior Jalen Pike is a true runner who competes against her own best times far more than against other runners. Jalen dramatically improved her personal best times during her high school career and, as a result, is now headed to Briar Cliff University on scholarship. It’s cold in Sioux City, but there’s an indoor track!

CVIT Day

Miami students happily participate in a wide range of career training opportunities at the Cobre Valley Institute of Technology. Classes are taught every afternoon at Gila Pueblo and the Regional Training Center in programs like welding, HVAC, nursing, and cosmetology.

Dylan Mancha, ’23, demonstrates in the HVAC lab at CVIT Day.

CVIT Day is an annual opportunity for our sophomores to learn more about the programs that will be available to them as juniors and seniors. Miami requires completion of a CTE course sequence for graduation, and students choose between CVIT and programs on campus.
