The superintendent reported on Feb. 10 that the Rhode Island Department of Education approved two North Kingstown High School pathways — culinary arts and video/photography communications — as official Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.
The district also celebrated student accomplishments: the DECA chapter won multiple awards at the state competition and qualified about 16 members for the DECA national competition; the robotics program hosted a regional competition and Team 701, the “Gonk Squad,” earned the Inspire Award (a top judges’ honor) and qualified for the world championships in Houston.
Superintendent’s remarks also thanked advisors, volunteers, maintenance crews and transportation staff for recent support during snowstorms and for hosting events. The district said the commissioner of education will visit the high school on Friday to see CTE programming in person.
