SISD LUNCH & LEARN RE-WATCH

As we continue CTE month, we want to shout-out our culinary program!

Students who complete the Culinary Arts pathway at Smithville High School are able to leave SISD with their Food Handler Permit, and a strong knowledge of working in a kitchen - whether just cooking for themself or for others in a commercial kitchen at a 5-Star restaurant!

February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) month, so we want to highlight the amazing CTE programs our students have available to them at SISD!

First up...WELDING! The welding pathway has led to wonderful partnerships with ACC and TCS Mechanical, which has given our students excellent training and tools to succeed in the welding and fabrication field. We are very proud of our students, many who have already completed their welding certifications and walked the stage at ACC!
