#TBT Spotlight on CTE
Ms. Ingle, a former student at the Center of Applied Technology South(CAT-South), is now the HVAC Instructor at CAT-South.
It is rewarding to have the opportunity to give back to the school that gave me so much. I never thought I would be able to be a teacher due to learning disabilities, but that only made me stronger as a teacher and as a student. I always say my brains are in my hands, but due to my learning disabilities, I can see things and explain things in a better way to help people understand. Now, as a teacher, I help other students with the same disability learn that having an IEP or 504 is just your toolbox, and your tools are there to help you succeed with the job at hand.
As a student, I competed in Skills USA and placed third in the States Competition. Now, I am also an NTHS member and a big supporter of Skills USA and what it stands for, which is why I help support this competition every year.

#TBT Spotlight on CTE
Ms. Jones, a former Auto Collision Repair Program student at the Center of Applied Technology North (CAT-North), is now the Auto Collision Repair Instructor at the CAT-North.
"I eagerly embraced the opportunity to return to CAT-North, as it played a pivotal role in shaping my career. During my time there, I had an incredible instructor who equipped me with skills that have lasted a lifetime. Now, as an educator, I strive to provide my students with the same, if not an even better, learning experience. Teaching Auto Collision is serious work, but I take pride in making it both educational and engaging for my students."
