Student trustees showcase CTE projects, scholarships and mock-trial wins

Student trustees briefed the board on campus celebrations, extracurricular achievements and a student proposal to better connect trustees and CTE programs. Channing Brown and Alan Tran highlighted events such as Meet the Eagles/Panthers, a planned homecoming theme and CTE program options; they said student leaders are piloting a 'Connect' survey to pair trustees with CTE programs for engagement and mentorship.

Alan Tran noted mock-trial internship successes and that Key Club received a $1,500 award from Carter Blood Care; he said two students were awarded $3,000 each ($6,000 total) from a partner organization. Trustee questions focused on whether the Key Club prize supports future drives and on whether events are open to families and participants. The trustees expressed appreciation and requested follow-up details while praising student leadership.
