Okcoy students produce morning show and access CTE classes, district hosts say

Okcoy Middle School staff told the district podcast that students produce the school's morning show and that Career and Technical Education (CTE) offerings—like a business and marketing class—support student skills and real-world learning.

Instructional technology supervisor Scott Webb described student media opportunities: "we've got students doing this for our morning show just like we do at the other secondary schools. We've got a a business and marketing class that's a CTE class." Webb and Dr. Lindberg said these programs let students practice technical and workplace skills while contributing to school communications.

Why it matters: hosts and staff said hands-on media and CTE classes broaden pathways into careers and increase engagement by allowing students to apply classroom learning to visible projects.

Next steps: staff said production and CTE offerings will continue as part of the school year programming and are being integrated with other extracurricular opportunities.
