Mayor Mark Nexsen proclaims the month of February, 2016, as Career and Technical Education Month. Career and technical education gives high school students experience in practical, meaningful applications of skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics, thus improving the quality of their education, motivating potential dropouts and giving all students leadership opportunities in their fields and in their communities. Mayor Nexsen urges all citizens to become familiar with services and benefits offered by the career and technical education programs in this community and to support and participate in these programs to enhance their individual work skills and productivity.
