February Officially Named “CTE Month” in the City of Gulfport

Gulfport High School celebrated “CTE Month” during February. The school included Mississippi CTE facts in their weekly announcements, highlighted CTE Students of the Week, shared CTE information in the school newsletter and on social media accounts and had CTE programs recruiting during lunch. The highlight of the month, however, was the successful request to designate February as “CTE Month” in the City of Gulfport.

Gulfport High School’s chapter of the National Technical Honor Society submitted a proclamation request to the City of Gulfport and was invited to attend a City Council meeting. At this meeting,

Mayor Billy Hewes and the City Council members presented this proclamation to Gulfport High School’s CTE Director, Thomas Brooks; Student Services Coordinator and NTHS Advisor, Kelsey Arde; and the NTHS officers, Philip Ugochukwu, Juan Michua Bernal and Kennedie Jordan, who were all in attendance.
